It’s taken almost a full season, but Chris Tierney has finally earned the trust of head coach Peter DeBoer. Tierney is rewarding the faith of his head coach by playing some of his best hockey of the year for the San Jose Sharks.
That was certainly evident last night when Tierney scored the opening two goals for San Jose within a two-minute span to give team teal the start they needed. Unfortunately, the Sharks couldn’t hang on to that early advantage as they would fall by a 4-3 final in overtime as the Predators forced a Game 7 on Thursday night.
