Before flying out to Chicago, Pete DeBoer talked about how this year’s San Jose Sharks could develop the kind of fortitude that characterized his best teams.
“Winning games in different ways,” offered DeBoer, speaking of the 2016 Sharks and 2012 New Jersey Devils. “With special teams. 2-1 games. 5-4 games. Finding ways to close teams out. Coming from behind. You need all those things.”
Last night, for just the second time this season, San Jose roared back from a two-goal deficit, spiking the Chicago Blackhawks 7-3. It’s been a while. On October 23rd, the Sharks turned the tables on the Nashville Predators, winning 5-4 after being down 4-2.
