"with the game tied at one apiece, when the Sharks let things get away from them. Vegas reeled off three quick unanswered goals and suddenly it was 4-1. But the good news is that unlike previous iterations of this team, this one rallied back and didn't let the minutes tick by to do it. By the end of the period, San Jose had scored two answering goals of its own and was chasing down a third."
"Notice that while the Sharks had moments where the team tried to swing control back into the San Jose's favor, those were usually followed by an overwhelming pushback by Vegas. San Jose kept the shot clock close at 24-21 in favor of Vegas and the scoring chances close-ish as well - they were 34-27 in favor of Vegas - it was not close enough. The scoresheet was indicative of two teams at different stages of their development."
"I always find HockeyStatCards GameScore Impact Card to be interesting insight because the stats defy the eye test. In this case, some of the things that John Klingberg did were frustrating for fans but they may have been tinged with recency bias. In truth, Klingberg was one of San Jose's better defenders last night, behind only Mario Ferraro, who had an exceptional game."
The San Jose Sharks lost 4-3 in Vegas after surrendering three quick second-period goals that put them down 4-1 before mounting a late rally that produced two answering goals. Natural Stat Trick GameFlow indicates the Sharks still trail upper-echelon teams in sustained control. Vegas generally pushed back after San Jose surges, and Vegas led in shot clock (24-21) and scoring chances (34-27). Mario Ferraro delivered an exceptional defensive performance, and John Klingberg rated well by advanced metrics despite some visible mistakes. A forwards trio had limited ice time, restricting their overall impact.
