PITTSBURGH — Micheal Haley’s return to the Sharks got overshadowed by an exceptional special teams night, Tomas Hertl ‘s two-goal game and a bounce-back performance from Martin Jones.
The Sharks knocked off the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-0 on Thursday, earning their second win over the team that beat them in the 2016 Stanley Cup Final in less than six weeks, another sign that the team is a top contender heading toward the stretch run.
Haley suited up for his first game since the Sharks plucked him off waivers on Wednesday, skating on the team’s fourth line.
With the win, the Sharks pulled to within a point of the Calgary Flames for first place in the Pacific Division.
