The San Jose Sharks scoring drought only cost them one point to a Pacific Division rival Tuesday, Oct. 25. They dominated the Anaheim Ducks for most of the game but scored only once in regulation.
Fortunately, they returned to the defensive prowess displayed in their 2016-17 NHL season opener. Both games at SAP Center were 2-1 wins over Pacific Division rivals, though the Los Angeles Kings did not earn a point Oct. 12.
The Sharks struggled defensively for stretches in every stop of their Eastern Conference road trip last week. Two games featured two goals allowed in one period.
