The San Jose Sharks’ lead melted away in ugly fashion.
Everything looked good for the San Jose Sharks when Mikael Granlund scored his second hit of the night to give the Sharks a 5-1 lead against Nashville at Bridgestone Arena.
However, after the middle of the game, something unimaginable happened, as Nashville scored the next six goals to the delight of the home crowd and went on to a wonderful 7–5 victory.
– We are all really frustrated. We have to learn and get better, San Jose coach Ryan Warsofsky rumbled after the game.
Although Nashville won the game, the team’s No. 1 point guard Juuse Saros the evening was dark. He played only the first set, where four of the eight wickets slipped in. Another skated between the posts Justus Annunenwho grabbed 15/16 pucks.
The teams will meet again the night before Friday. At that time, the game was hosted by the San Jose Sharks.
Like Finland
The beginning of the match was a celebration of Mikael Granlund and San Jose. Then there was a rough meltdown. PDO
Losing a 5–1 lead will surely remind many Finns of the World Cup home games from 2003. At that time, Finland led the quarterfinal match against Sweden 5–1, but Sweden eventually progressed to the semifinals with a 6–5 victory.
Had a hat trick in the match Teemu Selänten and the partners’ expressions were downright disbelieving after the game.
The win was Nashville’s fourth in a row. San Jose, on the other hand, is now on a four-match losing streak.
