Quick Bites: Perfect OT record ruined by Pittsburgh
The San Jose Sharks had a brief win streak under their belts — three games — before Thursday night’s 3-0 shutout loss to the New York Rangers stifled their building confidence. Adin Hill started in net for his fourth game in a row with James Reimer still on injured reserve.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were hungry early after having lost on Thursday night, as well, falling 6-2 to the Los Angeles Kings. The game opened with a swinging pendulum of chances. The Penguins were faster and cleaner with the puck, but the Sharks were able to generate a barrage of shots on goal when in the attacking zone. They weren’t in it often, but when they had the zone time, they made it count.
