"The San Jose Sharks hosted the Dallas Stars on the first day of a back-to-back against two hard hitting, highly skilled teams, with the Vegas Golden Knights coming tomorrow. Coming off two exhilarating wins against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings that put them in sole possession of the first wild card spot in the West, the Sharks had a challenge ahead of them: have a good showing against a good team."
"The second period emphasized special teams, with five minor penalties between the two teams. The Sharks were able to capitalize twice on the PP, while the Stars only scored one goal 5-on-5. The Sharks' two PP goals were on the same set play, just with different players involved. The first involved Celebrini handing a beautiful backhand pass from the goal line to Alex Wennberg, who wasted no time in putting it over DeSmith's shoulder to make it 2-1"
