The San Jose Sharks offense couldn’t get going in the first two periods against the Chicago Blackhawks, and they eventually lost 4-2. Start with the stale offense and the disappointment that the Sharks couldn’t make it a game against an equal opponent. Then, Sharks prospect Will Smith had his best NHL game. Analyze what went right for Smith as he racked up over 19 minutes of ice time and looked more confident. Next, examine the numbers behind the game, how the Sharks made the numbers closer than expected in the third period, how the offense turned around when William Eklund, Mikael Granlund, and Tyler Toffoli started clicking, and how Will Smith’s line performed. Finally, Ryan Warsofsky stated there should be lineup changes for Friday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. Do we see Danil Gushchin’s return?

Luke Kunin gets a lot of breakaways, but has no Finnish.
Don't forget that in tomorrow night's game you should drink any time they mention West Side Story.
I'd like to see Granlund get a 3 year extension. You can slot him lower in the line up once the forward depth improves.
I agree there needs to be lineup changes for tonight's game. I would not be surprised if Eklund sits as he played injured last night. I also want to see both Gushchin and Thompson in tonight.
And, as you have stated, I agree with it is the process this season rather than results. I am not sure about the lineup changes but Kostin has looked slow, so having him sit would not be the worst thing in the world.
I think Dellandria deserves a reward as (IMO) he has outplayed the other bottom six forwards since the beginning of the season. I would like to see him with a line of Gushchin and Wennberg or have him with W. Smith.
I think you then move Goodrow to line 4. As to Thompson, I think you need to play him with a veteran. I would like to see him paired with Ferraro and move Rutta down with Thrun.
It is going to be interesting to see what the coach does for tonight. Funny how Celebrini being out has really effected the team on the ice. It will be nice to see him back on the ice this weekend, if he can play on Sunday.
Hey jd i didn’t watch the 3rd period but from what I saw in the first 2 I thought smith looked awful did he start playing well after
Bedard clears Celebrini
I can’t take this anymore JD
8 goals?!!??? Like never any D, no toughness, no want to, no teamwork. Im at a concert with the wife but cmon this is depressing man😅😮
