COLUMBUS -– Trailing by a pair goals early in the final period, the Sharks could have decided that they were far too road weary to battle back against a team they’ve struggled to beat in the past.
Instead, playing in the second of a back-to-back, they scored four consecutive goals to shock the Blue Jackets and complete a sweep of their six-game road trip Sunday at Nationwide Arena, 5-3.
It’s the first time in franchise history the Sharks have swept a road trip of six games.
After Cam Atkinson gave the Blue Jackets a 3-1 lead early in the third, Joe Pavelski cut it to 3-2 when he deflected Justin Braun’s shot through the wickets of Sergei Bobrovsky at 6:13.
