The San Jose Sharks played a complete game in every sense against the New Jersey Devils Monday, Nov. 21. A Martin Jones shutout and the best offensive output of the 2016-17 NHL season produced a 4-0 victory.
San Jose’s two-way game was 60 minutes long despite holding a multi-goal lead for almost 90 percent of it. New Jersey was outshot by at least four in each period.
That complete game is evident in the scores themselves. The Sharks notched at least one goal in all three periods and all three situations: 5-on-5, power play and penalty kill.
