Head-to-head scoring chances

201314g7_h2h

  • The scoring chance numbers indicate they were able to skate away without giving up a whole lot in the way of quality opportunities, but the Couture line seemed to have their hands full with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin for the majority of the night. Thornton and Pavelski won their respective matchups (which were admittedly easier; Dallas doesn't have a ton of forward depth) so a lot of the uneven play from the Sharks last night can probably be traced to the Couture and Desjardins line's performances.
  • At least up front, that is. Brad Stuart being inserted into Dan Boyle's spot on the blueline probably went smoother than expected but Hannan and Demers combined for their worst game of the season so far. San Jose was outshot 9-2 at evens with Hannan on the ice and the pair as a whole were routinely beaten wide by the Stars' speedier forwards.
  • Still, the Sharks could have certainly won this game in regulation with a better showing on the power play. Just three chances in eight minutes with the man advantage is decidedly un-Sharklike. They'll probably bounce back but Boyle's injury is obviously an enormous loss to the first unit./
