US EditionSharks Overpower Devils to Record First Home Win of Season
Strong offensive efforts and 29 saves by goalie Alex Nedeljkovic helped the Sharks snap their home losing streak after starting the season 0-3-2 at SAP Center.
- On Thursday, the San Jose Sharks defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2 at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., ending a long home losing streak.
- Following Thursday, the San Jose Sharks, who began 0-3-2 at home and lost to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, snapped a long home losing streak at the Tank.
- The third line of Alexander Wennberg , Philipp Kurashev , and William Eklund each scored in the first period to build a 3-1 lead, with goals from Will Smith and Tyler Toffoli making it 5-1.
- The win was the Sharks’ first at home this season and their third win in five games as they prepare for the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday and Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.
- Rookie defenseman Sam Dickinson played his ninth game Thursday, and the Sharks must decide whether to keep him or loan him to the London Knights, as a 10th game would burn a year of his three-year entry-level contract, a decision Ryan Warsofsky tied to development.
