Sharks Shut Down Wild

The Sharks were looking forward to welcoming former teamates Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi back to the Tank. Even though these two players were former fan favorites, the Sharks dealt them away to improve their defense.
During the first few seconds of this game against the Wild, Douglas Murray layed out Devin Setoguchi in front of the Sharks' bench, welcoming him home to the HP Pavillion.

 The speed started to pick up in the second period. The Sharks' scintillating offense came to life. Marleau had 2 goals in the second period, sending the Sharks in front 2-0. Minutes later, Sharks forward Torrey Mitchell pounded the puck into the back of the net.

This game wasn't very exciting because the oponents weren't very aggresive. They were easy victims for the Sharks to gnaw on.
