San Jose Sharks, with rookies in tow, no match for Carolina Hurricanes
"After a scoreless first period, the Sharks were outclassed the rest of the way, as Carolina scored three times in the second period and two more in the third in a 5-1 win at SAP Center. After defenseman Sean Walker scored at the 1:24 mark of the second period, William Eklund responded 3:14 later, beating goalie Brandon Bussi five-hole for his first goal of the season. The 27-year-old Bussi, though, won his first career NHL start after three-plus years in the minor leagues."
"But that was it for the Sharks, who were outshot 43-17 by the Hurricanes, three nights after they allowed 44 shots in their 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks. Michael Misa, 18, made his NHL debut Tuesday. With Misa, Macklin Celebrini, and Sam Dickinson, Tuesday's game marked the first time San Jose has had three teenagers in the lineup since Jan. 15, 1998, when 18-year-old Patrick Marleau, Marco Sturm, and Andrei Zyuzin, both 19, played against the Colorado Avalanche."
The San Jose Sharks lost 5-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes after a scoreless first period gave way to Carolina dominance. The Hurricanes scored three times in the second and twice in the third, while goalie Brandon Bussi earned his first NHL win. San Jose managed only 17 shots and failed on all five power-play opportunities, generating just four shots in 7:23 of power-play time through two periods. Michael Misa made his NHL debut, joining two other teenagers in the lineup for the first time since 1998. Carolina entered with a top penalty kill and converted on special teams.
