Gli Sharks travolti nel derby californiano

Ennesima sconfitta per i San Jose Sharks, travolti dai rivali di sempre dei Los Angeles Kings. Risultato pesante per la formazione guidata da Ryan Warsofsky: un 7-2 che non ha lasciato scampo a Celebrini e compagni.
La partita si mette subito in salita per gli Sharks. Dopo appena un minuto e 23 secondi, i Kings trovano il vantaggio con Adrian Kempe, servito da Artemi Panarin e Drew Doughty.
Nel corso della prima frazione arrivano altre due reti dei padroni di casa: Kempe firma la propria doppietta, mentre Quinton Byfield realizza il 3-0 in superiorità numerica.

Celebrini e Stenberg, due lampi in power play

Nel periodo centrale arriva il primo dei due lampi degli Sharks. Al sesto minuto Macklin Celebrini segna la prima rete di San Jose, sfruttando una superiorità numerica e gli assist di Dmitry Orlov e Michael Misa.
Nella seconda parte della frazione, però, i padroni di casa vanno a segno altre due volte. Prima con Erik Haula e successivamente ancora con Kempe, che completa la propria tripletta personale.
Il terzo e ultimo periodo comincia nello stesso modo in cui era iniziato il primo: con una rete dei Los Angeles Kings. Al terzo minuto Joel Armia realizza il 6-1, su assist di Haula.
A metà frazione arriva il secondo lampo di San Jose, ancora in superiorità numerica. Il gol viene realizzato dal rookie Ivar Stenberg, nuovamente su assist della coppia Orlov-Misa.

Byfield chiude la serata

La partita si chiude definitivamente al minuto 14’28”, quando Los Angeles trova la settima rete con Byfield, che completa la propria doppietta segnando in power play.
Dopo questa pesante battuta d’arresto, gli Sharks torneranno sul ghiaccio nella notte italiana tra venerdì e sabato per affrontare in trasferta i Minnesota Wild.

The home team responded with two more goals in the second half of the period. Erik Haula scored first before Kempe completed his hat trick.
The third period began just as the first had, with another Kings goal. Three minutes into the period, Joel Armia made it 6-1 off an assist from Haula.
The Sharks produced their second spark midway through the period, once again on the power play. Rookie Ivar Stenberg scored San Jose’s second goal, with Orlov and Misa collecting the assists again.

Byfield completes the rout
