The San Jose Sharks entered last night’s game a little worse for wear and coming off the huge shock of general manager Doug Wilson stepping down from his role with the club. For as much of a shock as it was for fans, it was a surprise for the coaching staff — head coach Bob Boughner wasn’t informed until 9:30 a.m. that same morning.
Regardless, for the first game in the post-Wilson era, the Sharks looked … well, average. John Leonard and Jonah Gadjovich were injured last game and remained out due to injury, which meant that Jonathan Dahlen finally drew back into the line-up, populating the fourth line alongside Scott Reedy and Jeffrey Viel.
