The San Jose Sharks Needed A Win Badly

The Sharks are flying back to San Jose with the bandage firmly wrapped after they left a trail of blood from Las Vegas to Buffalo, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal last week.

Joe Pavelski said the Sharks needed to stop the bleeding immediately after Saturday’s blowout loss in Ottawa and they delivered with a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens Sunday night.

The Sharks first-road win since Oct. 28 snapped their four-game losing streak and ended their string of six straight losses away from SAP Center. With two five-on-five goals, the Sharks matched their total produced over the first four games of the trip.

After Saturday’s loss, head coach Pete DeBoer acknowledged that his dressing room was suffering from lack of confidence after opening its five-game road trip with an 0-3-1 record. With that in mind, Justin Braun’s goal at 2:55 of the first was exactly what the Sharks needed to get the good feelings flowing again.
