In a notable NHL game, the San Jose Sharks faced off against the Seattle Kraken, showcasing a mix of strategy and skill. Fabian Zetterlund was a standout for the Sharks, scoring twice to bring his season total to 22 goals, including two goals in less than a minute, which significantly contributed to the Sharks' lead. One of Zetterlund's goals extended the Sharks' lead to 3-1. Additionally, Granlund's performance was highlighted as his point streak reached 10 games. Despite the Sharks' offensive success, the Kraken dominated in terms of shot attempts, with a staggering 56 attempts by the second period and leading the high-danger chances 15 to 4 in a 5 on 5 play. The Sharks' goalie, Cooley, made 32 saves amidst this pressure. The game also noted a defensive struggle for the Sharks, particularly in the neutral and defensive zones, a recurring issue throughout the season. Burroughs also contributed by scoring his first goal in 30 games, making it 2-1 Sharks. The Kraken were able to maintain a significant shot advantage, with 33 shots to San Jose's 15 by a point in the game.

#SJSharks, like me, clearly had their attention divided between their game and Frozen Four. Hence getting outshot 33-12 to start. Now Will Smith has advanced, time to take care of business, 2 goals in 51 seconds by the Lund Line
The Kraken have 33 shots. San Jose has 15. One team has 3 goals. The other has 1. Guess.
Fabian Zetterlund scores his 22nd, makes it 3-1 Sharks. Granlund's point streak is now at 10 games.
As I was typing, The #SeaKraken have been able to do whatever they want tonight. The #SJSharks are playing weak through the neutral zone and are sinking in way too deep in the D-zone. Defensive zone coverage has been an issue all season long.
Kraken with 56 shot attempts w/5 minutes left in the second period. Cooley with 32 saves. Burroughs scores his first goal in 30 games -- 2-1 Sharks.
Winterton: so close. So, so close. #SeaKraken
