I’ve never seen West Side Story. And I kind of wish I hadn’t seen the Sharks versus the Jets tonight, either.
A few weird moments outweighed the Sharks’ overall strong play, as the Jets won 5-3 with Nikolaj Ehlers scoring the strangest hat trick. Just the absolute strangest hat trick. His third goal went nowhere near the net!
Here’s some individual positives: Evander Kane played well, Joe Thornton is officially top 10 all-time in assists and Joonas Donskoi scored his 100th career point.
At this point in the season, playing well is more important than winning.
