The San Jose Sharks welcomed the Chicago Blackhawks into SAP Center on Doug Wilson Appreciation Night. Nico Sturm and Erik Karlsson gave the Sharks the early lead, however the Blackhawks punched again with back-to-back surprising short-handed targets, and embarrassed San Jose 5-2.
GOTTA SEE IT: Wilson Passes Torch to Grier in Emotional Appreciation Night Speech
Period 1
5 in: Think Simek overplayed that, didn’t accept as true with Megna, Hawks get a great opportunity.
8 in: Gadjovich shot out of a cannon, does great task protective puck from Murphy. Then makes a play to Karlsson. He can do all 3 of the ones issues often, display excellent ft, offer protection to puck, make the connecting play, he’s going to stay right here.
9 in: Beaut Karlsson outlet cross, he’s proven elite contact up to now this night.
9 left: Couture line been considering some robust forecheck this night. Unlike the Canes, Sharks are hemming the opposition a little bit.
Gadjovich has been terrific to begin, forechecking successfully, making sure connecting performs, all that helped result in Sturm purpose (elite play via Karlsson too, his hitch freezes everyone, opens passing lane, places Mrazek in the back of)

#SJSharks forecheck has if truth be told intended one thing this night, versus vs. Canes, which speaks to an additional soar of their step, the opposition this night, or a little bit of each

Couture purpose: Karlsson whoa. He’s been terrific this night. Credit the place it’s due.
Period 2
Toews purpose: I’ve appreciated Karlsson this night, however he will get stuck there. Puck-watching on Johnson, Toews sneaks in the back of him.
Lafferty purpose: People will see No. 65 and notice crimson, however he will get 0 lend a hand right here. Sharks can’t stay puck ownership down low in outnumbered scenario, unpleasant.
Lafferty purpose: Both Labanc and Karlsson pass after Dickinson, perhaps think a gassed Couture has Lafferty. He doesn’t. Just unpleasant.
Disgraceful effort on this length

Seems like a delicate team, in as far as one purpose is going in, can’t stem the tide. Common San Jose Sharks theme in those unhealthy years.
Sturm-Lorentz-Bonino-Kunin-Ferraro is PP2

4 left: Some protection, in spite of everything. Benning locks sticks with Athanasiou coming down slot, simply in case unhealthy perspective shot spits out rebound.
Another excellent shift from Gadjovich to near length.
Period 3
3 in: Meier must get again to north-south, and he does there. Keep taking pictures!
Ferraro-Karlsson, Vlasic-Benning, Megna-Simek are you D-pairings.
Raddysh purpose: Backbreaker. Similar backhand transfer on breakaway to Toews’s transfer, however to different facet. Time of sport, you want a large prevent too. Haven’t truly had any of the ones from Kahkonen this night.
Dickinson purpose: Hertl chases a puck on the blueline that he shouldn’t, leaving Karlsson to fend with a 2-on-1. Need a prevent in the future too. Irresponsible play from Hertl, regardless that I do know the place it’s coming from, San Jose Sharks down two.
Little early within the yr to be writing “Worst loss of the season” tales, however right here we’re
