SAN JOSE, Calif. — Golden Knights forward Cody Eakin revealed before Tuesday night’s Game 7 of the Western Conference quarterfinals that he didn’t sleep well because of construction outside his hotel room.
It may be awhile before any of his teammates get a restful night after the way they lost the decisive game of the Western Conference quarterfinal at SAP Center — a 5-4 overtime decision.
A massively controversial call against Eakin midway through the third period with the Knights leading 3-0 triggered a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct. The Sharks scored four goals on the ensuing power play to take a 4-3 lead.
