"The Pittsburgh Penguins rolled into San Jose on Saturday night, bringing with them a very locked-in version of Tristan Jarry. With goaltending like that, the Penguins didn't need much room to do damage. The San Jose Sharks had moments (a lot of them, actually), but just couldn't find the back of the net. Final score: 3-0, but not for lack of trying."
"William Eklund was flying early, carving through the neutral zone and generating a pair of looks in tight. Celebrini set up Toffoli on a sweet give-and-go in the first, and Mario Ferraro clanged one off the post in the second that had Jarry beat clean. There were odd-man rushes, second efforts, scrambles in front, but the Sharks just couldn't finish."
"It wasn't a lack of structure or energy. In fact, this might've been one of San Jose's more disciplined games this season. San Jose kept pace through the first two periods. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic was solid through 40 minutes, stopping 20 of 21, and you could feel that if that one Shark goal had gone in, the energy would've shifted."
The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks 3-0 as Tristan Jarry delivered a locked-in performance that kept San Jose off the scoreboard. Sidney Crosby opened scoring with a second-period tip, Anthony Mantha added a second-effort jam in the third, and Evgeni Malkin finished into the empty net. The Sharks generated legitimate, high-quality chances — William Eklund created looks, Celebrini set up Toffoli, and Mario Ferraro hit the post — but failed to convert. Alex Nedeljkovic remained solid through 40 minutes, and San Jose showed discipline and energy, yet the puck failed to bounce their way.
