Sharks Soar Past Kraken for Back-to-Back Wins
The San Jose Sharks secured their second consecutive victory over the Seattle Kraken, silencing any lingering doubts from their previous loss to the Ottawa Senators. The final score was 4-2, and the Sharks are looking for a much-needed confidence boost as they embark on a lengthy road trip.
First Period fireworks
The Sharks wasted no time, grabbing the lead in the first period.
After a rare Sharks goal from the blue line, they doubled down with a Marco Cloutier scored his first as a Shark, the first of his career and the first goal on the road in a long time for the former fourth: A beautiful play from Walman made this all possible and the Sharks enjoyed their fun.
Second Period Assurance Jules
Early in
the second period, the Sharks doubled their lead. As the Sharks killed off a penalty, they led the team attack up the ice. Jake Walman got the puck up to Ty DellAndrea, and the Sharks got the forward out of the box to join the rush. That forward was Luke Kunin, who was in the perfect position to receive Dellandrea’s drop pass and Kunin rifled it home through the best efforts of Daccord.
Keep darkerates
In the second period, San Jose continued the offensive outpour when Walman worked the puck to Macklin Celebrini. As the rookie continued to dominate the league, his shot went wide of the net before taking a friendly bounce off the backboards to Cody Ceci.
Third Period Fight
Jaden Schwarts made it 4-1 before the end of the second, and Jared McCann made it 4-2 in the third period. But with 7 seconds left in the game. Matty Berniers thought he made it 4-3 with 7 seconds left in the game but it was ruled out for goaltender interference, and the Sharks enjoyed the win, sweep this back-to-back and home-down the road in a long time series, and added four points to the standings to end the month of November.
