SAN JOSE, Calif. — Coach Bob Boughner on Friday sat down with both Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl, going over what he felt had been missing from each of their games of late and what he wanted to see from them over the of the regular season.
Boughner likely got the response he was looking for Saturday.
Meier assisted on Hertl’s goal early in the second period and scored one himself off a nice assist from Alexander Barabanov as the Sharks earned a 4-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Fan Appreciation Night before an announced crowd of 17,562 at SAP Center.
