RECAP 3/15/20
San Jose, CA- Martin Jones turned away 40 Shots as the San Jose Sharks(40-22-9) rebounded from back to back losses with a 5-1 Victory over the Montreal Canadiens(35-32-4) on Sunday Night.
Habs Goaltender Carey Price(29-29-4) had 32 saves and did all he could to keep the Sharks at bay after San Jose(40-22-9) took a 2-0 lead off Goals from Justin Callahan(24) and Barclay Goodrow(9).
Price became a brick wall throughout the Second Period to keep the Sharks off the board.
Montreal(35-32-4) got on the board midway through the Second Period when Finnish Star Jesperi Kotkaniemi(9) scored to put the Habs within one.
"Price did everything he could for us but we let him down tonight and that's on us. We need to be much better and score Goals." Canadiens Head Coach Claude Julien stated.
San Jose(40-22-9) kicked the door down in the Third Period and solved Price.
Joe Pavelski(35), Logan Couture(32), and Evander Kane(31) all scored to seal the 5-1 win for San Jose.
"I think once we got in the Third Period we got to playing our game. Carey stood on his head for Montreal so you have to admire his work and play. One of the best in the League." Sharks Head Coach Peter DeBoer stated.
San Jose(40-22-9) will host the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks(22-41-8) on Tuesday Night.
