The San Jose Sharks took care of business on Saturday night as they hosted a key divisional matchup against the Arizona Coyotes. With the Ducks already winning and the Coyotes trying to apply pressure as well, the Sharks responded in convincing fashion.
San Jose used a pair of first period goals and a strong third period to roll to a 4-1 victory over Arizona at SAP Center.
After a disastrous first 20 minutes against the Calgary Flames last time out, the Sharks seized control of the game with a solid opening frame that saw them score at either end of the period.
