The .500 mark is in striking distance for the San Jose Sharks following their 5-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks. They’re still second-to-last in the division, but hopefully their improved play can buoy them up the standings.
Tomas Hertl continued his scoring streak with a goal in each of the first two periods against the Ducks. He’s now at 10 goals on the season. His two goals kept the Sharks in the game through the first 40 minutes.
Hertl left the game in the third period with an apparent lower-body injury, but is fine according to coach Pete DeBoer’s postgame comments.
