What a historic night for the San Jose Sharks. Down 4-0 early in the first period, the Sharks never lost hope or persistence. They battled all the way back. The Sharks tied the game 5-5 in the second period thanks to a Joe Pavelski goal in the 19th minute. They scored all of their 5 goals in the second period - a new Sharks record. No scoring was done in the third period, and the game headed to overtime. Three minutes into overtime, Patrick Marleau found Devin Setoguchi on a brilliant pass in front of the Kings net, and Setoguchi set his shot up and put it in the back of the net.
San Jose came out charging in the second period. Being down 4-0 on the road is a very tough task to overcome, yet this Sharks team showed resilience and intrigue. Could this be the team to carry them all the way to the Stanley Cup? If the team continues to play like they did tonight, the thought is not so absurd...
Next Game: SJ Sharks @ LA Kings, Thursday the 21st at 10:30pm EST. Sharks lead the series 2-1.
