It's been eight years since the San Jose Sharks opened a season with five consecutive victories. And, nearly as long since they beat the Boston Bruins.
San Jose has been one of the surprise teams through the early days of the 2021-22 campaign. Logan Couture had two goals with an assist and Adin Hill made 30 saves as the Sharks won a third straight game on the road, 5-3 at Toronto on Friday.
"It's huge to start like this," Couture, who's recorded all three of his goals in the last two games, told the official NHL website. "That was the main focus in training camp, to get off to a good start this year.In addition to Couture's strong play, veteran defenseman Erik Karlsson has notched two goals with four assists. Hill, meanwhile, has stopped 71 of the 77 shots he's faced to win his first three starts.
The Bruins have won two of their first three games of the season, and halted Buffalo's 3-0-0 start with Friday's 4-1 road victory. Members of Boston's famed "Perfection Line," David Pastrnak tallied his first goal of the season Friday while Patrice Bergeron assisted on the first-period score for his first points of 2021-22.
