On Thursday, the Sharks took to the ice against the Canucks (they were 0-2 on the season) about 24 hours after they lost to the Flames in Calgary, barely avoiding a shutout.
For the Sharks, Mirco Mueller returned to the lineup, and Daniil Tarasov made his NHL debut, while Patrick Marleau played his 1,300th game.
Sharks’ Irwin started off the scoring in the first, and for the Canucks it went down hill from there, giving up two goals in each of the second and third periods, but eeking out a goal to avoid a shut out with less than two minutes left.
Karlsson continued his strong play, notching the GWG in the second. A high stick on Tarasov not called by refs (would have resulted in 4min PP). Vancouver had goal disallowed because it was batted in. Chris Tierney scored his first NHL goal.
McLellan is now at 299 NHL career coaching wins.
Sharks had six rookies in the lineup.
Team “off” on Friday. (Back at it Saturday to host Carolina)
