ST. LOUIS – The Sharks’ emotional pendulum started swinging in a positive direction on Monday morning, when management acquired a couple needed pieces in the hopes of setting up a long playoff run.
Early in their game against the Blues, though, it changed direction when Matt Tennyson lay motionless on the ice, courtesy of a check from behind by the Blues’ Ryan Reaves.
By the end of the night, it was back going the right way again. The Sharks skated to a 6-3 win over the Blues, and Tennyson, although he’s “probably concussed” according to coach Pete DeBoer, dodged what looked like a potentially devastating situation.
