The San Jose Sharks entered today’s contest after losing late to the Dallas Stars yesterday. After such a heartbreaker, the Sharks were hoping that their game against the Colorado Avalanche would end differently.
This time, San Jose was able to make the late plays necessary to win as Brent Burns scored with just 1:39 remaining to give the Sharks a 3-2 lead, and Joe Pavelski would score the eventual game-winner into the empty net as the Sharks would leave Colorado with a 4-3 victory.
