Jeffrey Viel, Rudolfs Balcers and Erik Karlsson all scored for the San Jose Sharks
SAN JOSE – Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson was in the offensive zone in the second period when he saw winger Rudolfs Balcers streaking toward the Colorado Avalanche net. Karlsson then hit him with a tape-to-tape pass, but the redirection by Balcers bounced harmlessly off the post.
Viel’s second-period goal snapped a 146:32 goalless drought for the Sharks, and Balcers and Karlsson both scored in the third. In other words, getting another player to two who can finish around the net would presumably be one of the Sharks front office’s top priorities this offseason. Hertl received a warm round of applause in the first period, an appreciation of sorts after the centerman signed an eight-year, $65.1 million contract extension with the team earlier this week.
