That kind of start.Ħ left: Nice job by Okhotiuk to absorb O’Connor forecheck, then hit Barabanov with outlet. #SJSharks /ws0SRpSGHDĪlmost 11 minutes in, San Jose Sharks get first shot of the game off a Barabanov wraparound. Thrun and Rutta have each taken a shift filling in along side Emberson in the mean time. Haven’t seen Ferraro return since the hit by MacKinnon.
Rantanen goal: Ugly line change, too many men on the ice, then MacKinnon cross-slot pass goes off Rutta, Rantanen slams it in. Looks like Duclair sent to the fourth line, it looks like: Eklund-Hertl-Zadina, Hoffman-Granlund-Zetterlund, Barabanov-Studnicka-Kunin, Duclair-Carpenter-Bailey. Tomas Hertl scored, but the Sharks lost their eighth in a row, 3-1.
