As part of the NHL’s Global Series, the San Jose Sharks finished the preseason on the road in Berlin with a 3-1 win over Eisbären Berlin.
The game went scoreless through the first period and a half due to strong performances from goaltenders James Riemer and Tobias Ancicka. Around halfway through the game, both goaltenders were replaced by their respective back-ups, with Kaapo Kahkonen swapping in for the Sharks and Juho Markkanen for Eisbären.
Though Eisbären opened scoring just 45 seconds after Kahkonen took over in net, the Sharks were able to take control of the game in quick fashion.
