The good news from Saturday’s game? Jones/Sharks didn’t let Anaheim score more than one goal.
The bad news? Sharks didn’t score any goals. Oh, they were close a few times, including a “off the post” that was originally called a goal, but reversed after review.
The worst news? The Sharks still haven’t scored a power play goal at home.
Time to put that behind and look forward to playing the Islanders, and get some revenge for the loss in Barclay Center last month. This is the last Sharks home game for a few weeks as the team will set out on a six-game, cross country road trip. (The next home game will be against Chicago the evening before Thanksgiving.)
After Saturday’s game, Cundari, Goldobin, Lerg were assigned to the AHL Barracuda. Melker Karlsson has been looking good in the AHL after a pre-camp injury, and could see a recall before the Sharks head out on the road. And he was recalled Monday; he practiced on the third line. Smith is still out. (With the Barracuda heading out on an extended road trip themselves starting on Tuesday in SoCal, I’m thinking there may be some additional recalls for an extra forward or two and a defenseman for the road trip.) Monday night was the annual Sharks and Strikes bowling charity fundraiser.
The Islanders hosted the Bruins Sunday, losing 1-2, their second loss in a row. On Monday, they called up Adam Pelech (younger brother of former Shark Matt Pelech); he could make his NHL debut against the Sharks. The Islanders (7-5-3) head to California for a 3-game trip, landing in San Jose first. The Islanders are looking for offense on this trip.
Sharks need to get out of their two-game losing slump and extend the Islanders’. Including the AHL Barracuda, in the six games so far this month, there are only two wins on home ice.
Update: Goldobin and Mueller recalled Tuesday morning. Jones confirmed as Sharks starter. Former Shark Thomas Greiss named starter for Islanders; no word if the other former Shark on Islanders roster, Steve Bernier, will be in lineup.
