Two Sharks forwards snap long goal droughts in critical win over Capitals
Noah Gregor and Jonathan Dahlen both snapped long goal droughts and Nicolas Meloche scored his first career NHL goal as the Sharks began a critical four-game road trip with a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.
The Sharks killed off a delay of game Logan Couture with 6:41 left in the third period, then Dahlen scored another insurance goal with 3:09 to go in regulation time. Dahlen’s last goal came on Dec. 9 against Minnesota.The Sharks did not have Rudolfs Balcers available Wednesday, as had been anticipated, as a team spokesman said he had not cleared NHL COVID-19 protocol.
It worked out for Gregor. Stationed beside goalie Ilya Samsonov, he redirected a pass from Brent Burns into the Capitals net for his second goal of the season and his first since Nov. 30.
