Trouba risponde, ma Boston chiude avanti il primo periodo
Seconda sconfitta casalinga consecutiva per i San Jose Sharks, battuti dai Boston Bruins con il punteggio tennistico di 6-3. Gli Sharks sono stati costretti a inseguire il risultato per tutta la partita.
Nella prima frazione, dopo il vantaggio degli ospiti firmato da Fraser Minten, San Jose trova il pareggio con Jacob Trouba, che lascia partire un tiro dalla linea blu e realizza la sua prima rete con la maglia degli Sharks.
Prima dell’intervallo, però, Boston torna avanti con Charlie McAvoy, che fissa il punteggio sul 2-1 in favore degli ospiti.
Prima rete NHL per Ivar Stenberg
Nel periodo centrale, San Jose trova nuovamente il pareggio grazie al rookie Ivar Stenberg, che realizza in superiorità numerica il suo primo gol in NHL. Gli assist sono di Macklin Celebrini e Dmitry Orlov.
Boston si riporta in vantaggio poco prima della metà della gara con la rete segnata da Matthew Poitras. A tre secondi dalla sirena del periodo centrale arriva anche il quarto gol degli ospiti, realizzato da Pavel Zacha.
Nel terzo e ultimo periodo gli Sharks tentano il forcing e riescono ad accorciare le distanze con il capitano Macklin Celebrini, che segna il gol del 3-4 in superiorità numerica su assist di Stenberg e Will Smith.
Nella seconda metà della frazione è però Boston a rendersi maggiormente pericolosa e a trovare nuovamente la via della rete. Prima Fraser Minten realizza il suo secondo gol della serata, poi Will Borgen chiude definitivamente la partita segnando a porta vuota.
Inizia una trasferta di sei partite
Dopo questo inizio di stagione altalenante, gli Sharks dovranno affrontare la loro prima lunga trasferta. San Jose giocherà infatti sei partite consecutive lontano dal SAP Center, iniziando il 15 ottobre sul ghiaccio dei Nashville Predators. Il viaggio terminerà il 24 ottobre proprio a Boston, con una nuova sfida contro i Bruins. San Jose Sharks – NHL.com
