Head-to-head scoring chances

Score effects took over at even-strength after the Sharks staked themselves to a 3-0 lead but that was one of the most dominant first periods in terms of scoring chances the team has had all season, outchancing the Oilers 11-2 over the first twenty minutes. As a reference point, the Sharks generated just 13 scoring chances in 62+ minutes of play against the Canucks.
They generated a pretty goal but that wasn’t the greatest night for the Joe Thornton line, who surprisingly had their hands full with Boyd Gordon and company and were crushed in possession.
I wasn’t really impressed with their work in Calgary or Vancouver but the newly-formed Brad Stuart/Justin Braun pairing seemed to have their best game yet against the Oilers. Both finished on the positive side of the scoring chance ledger despite starting ten shifts in the defensive zone and just two in the Edmonton end at evens.
Logan Couture had a terrific game offensively, generating six of the Sharks’ scoring chances and setting up two others.
