End of first: Sharks 1-0

Shots on goal were 14-3 in favor of the Sharks in the first period. Things got testy late in the period, as San Jose’s Ian White smashed his head into the boards after a hit from Jarret Stoll. That resulted in a fight between Kyle Clifford and Ben Eager, followed by a shift in which San Jose’s Douglas Murray made several attacks to hit Justin Williams in the shoulder, leading to some post-horn words between Murray and Kevin Westgarth.
