After a lethargic start the San Jose Sharks were able to outpace the Colorado Avalanche winning 5 – 2 in Game 1 at the Tank. It was an impressive win for a team that just finished up a 7 game slug-fest with their rival the Vegas Golden Knights.
This game wasn’t as dramatic as that Game 7, but there were still a lot of things to like about the San Jose Sharks overall play. At the same time there were a few dents in Team Teal’s armor that could be detrimental later in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
