Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl led the charge for the Knights, scoring first and not looking back. The first period saw the Sharks go down 2-1 after a goal from Collin Graf was quickly countered by the Knights Pavel Dorofeyev. Shots were 13-7 for the Knights after 1, and it didn't get much better from there. The second period is where the Knights did most of their damage, scoring 3 goals to go up 5-2.
"It happened organically," DeBoer shared. "I was talking with a close friend of his and I just felt that I wanted to relay that message to him. Don't listen to the noise, keep doing what you're doing, there's no truth to this."
