Sharks hand Penguins 6th straight loss, 5-0
By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Evander Kane had a goal and an assist, Martin Jones made 30 saves in his 24th career shutout and the San Jose Sharks sent the Pittsburgh Penguins to their first six-game losing streak in eight years with a 5-0 victory. Logan Couture, Joe Thornton, Timo Meier and Joel Kellman also scored to give the Sharks back-to-back wins following a five-game losing streak. The Penguins have been outscored 24-8 during their first six-game skid since the 2011-12 season when Sidney Crosby was sidelined by an injury.
Despite underdog momentum being on their side, the magic dust finally ran out as the #5 Geneva College Golden Tornadoes fell to #1 Grove City at the Wolverines’ home court in the PAC Championship.
The Golden Tornadoes never led during this match, coming as close as 3 points before defense lapses and trouble in the paint gave Grove City the power to capture the title, as well as an automatic berth in the NCAA DIII tournament. Geneva falls to 14-14 overall with the loss.
