Pete DeBoer called it “a man’s game.”
The San Jose Sharks head coach was speaking of the lack of time and space available to both sides in last night’s 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.
Leave it to Erik Karlsson (65) — riding a 13-straight game points streak — to take advantage of what little time and space there was.
As San Jose was changing forwards, Ilya Kovalchuk’s (17) dump-in, instead of going behind Martin Jones (31), took a strange hop to Jones.
Meanwhile, at the end of a minute-long shift, Anze Kopitar (11) lumbered off to change.
