The Sharks couldn't have asked for more from the first two games of their current six-game homestand.
In two wins over the Edmonton Oilers and Chicago Blackhawks, San Jose scored 12 goals and allowed four. All but one of those goals-for came during five-on-five play (the outlier was an empty-netter), and in all, the Sharks scored four more five-on-five goals than on the entirety of a four-game road tip in which they won just once last week.
San Jose has turned around its possession game, too. When adjusting for score and venue, (since the team held three-goal and five-goal leads headed into third periods against the Oilers and Blackhawks, respectively) the Sharks controlled 51.
