The Sharks hold on to win their second straight, beating the Arizona Coyotes 3-2.
It's great to see this Sharks team string together a set of consecutive wins. Team Teal got things going early in the first period when Tomas Hertl tipped in a shot from Radim Simek for his tenth goal of the season. Scott Harrington recorded the other assist on the first goal by Hertl. Soon after, Nick Bonino scored his fourth goal of the year and his fourth in four games to extend the Sharks' lead to two. Jonah Gadjovich and Erik Karlsson assisted on the second goal by Bonino. In addition, Luke Kunin sustained a lower body injury in the first period and did not return. Before the end of the first period, the Coyotes got on the board with a power play goal from Logan Crouse.
Around the eight-minute mark of the second period, the Sharks regained their two-goal lead via Nico Sturm after he picked up the rebound from the initial shot by Scott Harrington. Nick Bonino picked up the other assist on the third goal by Sturm, with both Bonino and Harrington each recording two points on the night. Arizona attempted to mount a comeback early in the third period, getting within one on a goal from Nick Bjugstad, but the Sharks ultimately held on to win this one, another game that they should and need to win.
James Reimer has been activated off the IR and was back in net, recording 20 saves in the win. Another notable feat in this one was that Sharks TV play-by-play announcer Randy Hahn called his 2,000th game, which is remarkable for such a legendary broadcaster and one of the best in sports.
Team Teal has the next three days off before they face the Kings in LA in their next game on Saturday at 7:30 pm PT.
