The San Jose Sharks recently broke an eight-game losing streak by defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins but fell short against the Seattle Kraken shortly thereafter. Despite their struggles, players like Mikael Granlund and the "70's Line" - which includes Macklin Celebrini, Tyler Toffoli, and William Eklund - have demonstrated impressive on-ice synergy and production. Granlund's playmaking skills, alongside the scoring prowess of the 70's Line, have shown glimpses of what can work for the team. Nevertheless, overall, their performance has been inconsistent, evidenced by being outscored 4-0 in the second period against the Kraken after starting the game strong.
With the game tied at one thanks to the Grundstrom goal, the Sharks happily took a 1-1 game into the locker room after the first period.
Granlund and Smith have been making statements in recent games with their famed "Granny-Smith" duo, making some nice tight assists and goals.
The group had a well-deserved game-winning goal on Monday against the Penguins, and they continued to shine last night.
Natural Stat Trick reports that the Toffoli-Celebrini-Eklund line was the only line that was net positive in scoring chances.
