The Falcon men entered Saturday night’s matchup with a 5-0 record behind goaltender Scott Lewan . UWRF defeated St. Norbert by a score of 5-3 on Friday night, and entered the matchup at Hunt Arena with hopes of keeping their unbeaten season alive.
The Falcons would succeed in their effort by scoring five consecutive back to back goals in the third period to overcome a four goal deficit and take the lead.
The first period was characterized by huge hits and energetic play as both teams battled for the puck. Scoring the first goal of the evening was Green Knight Seth Soley at 6:55 in the period. Soley was assisted on his fourth goal of the season by Joe Perry and Cullen Bradshaw.
Ryane Clowe’s shootout goal gave the Sharks their sixth win in the last seven games.
Ryane Clowe scored the lone goal in a shootout and Thomas Greiss stopped all three Pittsburgh attempts as the Sharks overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Penguins 4-3 on Thursday night.
“We had no business winning that game after the first period. But we found a way to get back into it,” McLellan said. “It’s two points, but we’ll be discussing our starts. There’s no doubt about that.”
It was San Jose’s eighth straight home win over Pittsburgh. The Penguins earned their first point in San Jose since a 1999 tie but still haven’t won at the Shark Tank since a 5-2 victory Oct.
