Head-to-head scoring chances

After Tommy Wingels fired a puck past Brian Elliott at the 11:27 mark of the first period, the Sharks not only led the game 4-0 but had a 7-0 lead in scoring chances. The first half of the opening twenty minutes of this one was the kind of dominant performance few teams have been capable of showing against the Blues this season.
I thought Dan Boyle was fighting the puck a bit all game long so it’s somewhat surprising his scoring chance differential looks great. It’s a rare outing when Boyle’s breakout passes aren’t clicking but this game was one of them.
Hannan and Stuart’s chance numbers certainly look better than their awful possession stats from this game but it’s interesting that they got lit up by the Backes line despite spending barely any even-strength ice time matched up against them.
