Against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, the San Jose Sharks had Thomas Bordeleau, William Eklund and Quentin Musty on one line
San Jose Sharks defenseman Jacob MacDonald, second from left, celebrates after scoring against the Vegas Golden Knights during the second period of an NHL preseason hockey game Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023, in Las Vegas. For anyone who has followed San Jose Sharks drafts in recent years and the pain they had to endure to collect some of those picks, the second forward line coach David Quinn trotted out against the Vegas Golden Knights in his team’s penultimate preseason game was all too noticeable.
It was a tantalizing glimpse of a group of forwards that could possibly form the foundation for whenever the Sharks are once again legitimately able to compete with the Golden Knights, who will lift their first Stanley Cup championship banner to the rafters of T-Mobile Arena later this month. Possessing the puck below Vegas’ goal line, Eklund darted one way toward the sideboards with a Golden Knights defender right on him before he quickly cut back. Then, just before he got all the way behind the Vegas net, he sent a nifty backhand pass right to Bordeleau, who one-timed it past Adin Hill for a 1-0 Sharks lead at the 6:51 mark of the second period.
With his performance Tuesday, Eklund was able to build on the performance he had Saturday in the Sharks’ 2-1 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings. While several other Sharks forwards have lackluster performances, at least in Quinn’s eyes, Eklund stood out with his energy and has improved in camp with each passing day.
