Head-to-head scoring chances
- Despite Pavelski's hat trick, his line wasn't particularly effective at even-strength for once. Lightning coach Jon Cooper was generally intent on hard-matching the Tyler Johnson line against Joe Thornton, which was a smart move considering how poorly they fared in their minutes against Patrick Marleau and company.
- With Dan Boyle and Matt Irwin mired in an extended slump, the Sharks are going to have major issues when one of their other two pairings collapses. That was the case on Saturday, as Brad Stuart and Justin Braun had a brutal game on the defensive side of the puck. Stuart in particular was on the ice for 11 of Tampa's 16 even-strength scoring chances.
- As mentioned in the recap, the Sharks fared well in the third period when they ventured into full-on protect-the-lead mode and tightened things up through the neutral zone. They yielded just two chances in the final frame, one of which came after Cooper had pulled Ben Bishop.
