It was the type of play that all too often this season has resulted in the puck being in the back of the San Jose Sharks’ net.
With the Sharks on a first-period power play Friday, Timo Meier turned the puck over near the Anaheim blue line, helping give the Anaheim Ducks a 2-on-1. Adam Henrique then slid a pass over to Frank Vatrano, but his shot from point-blank range was stopped by a sliding Eetu Makiniemi.
Makiniemi, in his first career NHL start, had seven saves in the first period and 23 for the game as the Sharks beat the Ducks 6-1 at Honda Center to snap a four-game losing streak.
