It didn’t matter who the goal came from, just that it did.
In a game that was scoreless until there were six minutes left in regulation, captain Jacob Trouba unloaded a hard shot from the point that was deflected in by Julien Gauthier to help lead the Rangers to a 2-1 win over the Sharks on Saturday night at SAP Center.
The Rangers mob Julien Gauthier after his goal in the third period of the Blueshirts’ 2-1 win over the Sharks.There’s simply a lack of fluidity to the Rangers’ offense at five-on-five lately. It can be choppy. It can be erratic. It can fall out of sync. There’s just no flow at times. The power play generates a good portion of their quality chances and when it’s faced with top-notch penalty-kill units, such as the Sharks and their NHL-leading 92 percent PK, it struggles to fool them.
The team defense was relatively strong for a majority of the game. San Jose breakaways were often broken up before they skated into dangerous territory.
