The second period was rough. The Sharks were badly outplayed, being outshot 14-2 and spending a lot of the frame in their zone. Even though San Jose didn’t allow a goal and remained down by only two goals, it was a pretty deflating frame.
The Oilers extended their lead under two minutes into the third period, driving around Brent Burns and going five-hole on James Reimer. While the Sharks did manage some shots in a better performance than what we saw in the second period, they still didn’t get much going, as Edmonton hung on for the shutout win.
The game marked Evander Kane’s return to San Jose, following nearly four years with the organization. The forward signed with the Oilers after his contract was terminated by the Sharks earlier this season.
Kane didn’t get on the board but did manage four shots. It wasn't necessarily a warm welcome for him though.
Evander Kane’s first trip back to San Jose is going as expected 😬😂 pic.twitter.com/AEf7e4zVDt
