Two days after getting overrun offensively and somehow still winning in Los Angeles, the San Jose Sharks decided to do the inverse of what they did the previous game and swarm their opponents, the Winnipeg Jets, in shots throughout the game.
It did not end up working out well for them.
The Jets stole the game from the Sharks, cruising at 30,000 feet to a 5-1 victory, officially taking the season series from the Sharks after having beaten them earlier in the month at the SAP Center, 3-2.
In both games played so far against the Jets, the Sharks vastly out-shot the Jets, this time out-shooting them 41 to 27, with 22 of the Sharks’ shots on target compared to the Jets’ 20.
