"The SAP Center didn't just get free tacos Saturday afternoon; it got a show. The San Jose Sharks fought a very interesting physical battle against the Colorado Avalanche and walked out with a very nice win. First period Things didn't start out well for the Sharks. Less than a minute in, Colorado's Martin Necas put one past Sharks' goaltender Yaroslav Askarov with help from Cale Makar and Devon Toews."
"The quick strike by the Avalanche put the Sharks back on their heels. Colorado came at them in waves, hemming them into their defensive zone. San Jose didn't get out of the defensive zone until two minutes in the game thanks to a strong play by William Eklund. The Sharks gained some ground when Barclay Goodrow received a nasty high stick from Ilya Solovyov at 5:55 of the first period, putting the Sharks on their first power play."
