NHL: San Jose Sharks play their home opener in front of a sellout crowd at SAP Center
SAN JOSE – The Sharks couldn’t overcome their offensive woes in their first home game of the season.
The Sharks were outshot 25-11 in the first two periods as goalie James Reimer finished with 33 saves. Second periods were a huge issue for the Sharks last week in Prague, and that problem continued Friday. Against the Nashville Predators last week in the Global Series games, the Sharks were outscored 5-1 and outshot 23-16 in the two games by the Nashville Predators.
After the Sharks held their player introductions prior to their first home game of the season, they took a few minutes to recognize Brent Burns, who was traded to the Hurricanes in July. Burns spent 11 seasons with the Sharks and is the franchise’s leader in most offensive categories for a defenseman.
