SAN JOSE – No, Craig Anderson didn’t see Joonas Donskoi’s slick shootout goal last Thursday against Edmonton, when the Sharks rookie immobilized Cam Talbot before slipping home the puck into a wide open net, helping the Sharks win the skills competition.
But the Ottawa goalie had a feeling that the 23-year-old had some fancy moves up his sleeve, based on the reaction by the crowd when his name was announced as the second shooter on Monday night in the tiebreaker.
“In my head I don’t really know who the guy is. When he had a standing ovation and loud crowd noise I knew he must [have done] something awesome,” Anderson said after the 4-3 Senators win at SAP Center.
