Michael Bunting, Brady Skjei and Jesperi Kotkaniemi had two assists each."The answer was that we were able to get one by that goalie because he was phenomenal, " Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said about San Jose goalie Mackenzie Blackwood. "I mean, that was a really amazing goalie performance through the first two periods there. He was special. We were able to crack one in there with Noesen's goal and I think that kind of opened the floodgates a little bit, but he was keeping them in there." CAR SJS: Jarvis grabs lead with second PPG of the game Antti Raanta made 12 saves in relief of Frederik Andersen Jordan Martinook Jersey, who exited the game just 5:27 into the first period after a high shot hit him in the mask. He stayed out for the remainder of the game for precautionary reasons."We're in an age now for the athletes, everything is precautionary, ' Brind'Amour said. 'If it's even remotely, 'Oh I'm a little dinged, ' well of course you are, you just took one in the head. It's 'OK, see you, we're pulling you out and we're going to make sure there's nothing wrong.' And really across the board, I think we've done a good job with that and that's what this was tonight."Sebastian Aho missed the game after being scratched late with an upper body injury prior to warmups."He did something at the end of the last game 6 3 loss at the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday that we didn't think was going to be maybe that serious Callahan Burke Jersey, but again, what we're dealing with, you just [say], 'OK, you're not 100 percent, you're not going, '' Brind'Amour said. 'So, he'll get relooked at and we'll take it from there."Fabian Zetterlund had a goal and an assist, and Tomas Hertl had two assists and Blackwood made 36 saves for the Sharks 0 2 1."I didn't like the way we played for most of the night, " San Jose coach David Quinn said. "I don't think we skated the way we have been. I don't think we were physical enough and it ended up catching up to us. We've got to be way more competitive in our battles than we were today. We were way too puck conscious about the game, soft on battles. So, that was disappointing because that hasn't been the case up to this point."Zetterlund made it 1 0 with his first goal with the Sharks at 3:15 of the first period, taking a breakaway pass from Hertl and beating Andersen over the blocker.

We had chance after chance. We knew we just had to stick with it, " Slavin said. "Our power play came up huge there in the third period. That's always good to get them clicking and firing on all cylinders." CAR SJS: Necas skates around the net and tucks it in Jarvis scored his second goal from the slot on the power play at 11:51 to give Carolina a 4 3 lead.Necas made it 5 3 on a wraparound at 14:53, and Brett Pesce scored at 15:08 for the 6 3 final.NOTES: Blackwood passed Kaapo Kahkonen 78 saves for the most in his first two appearances with the franchise 87, including 51 in his Sharks debut Saturday.
