    POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE
    On what he saw from the group today that allowed the team to finish this road trip strong:
    Sheldon Keefe: “I thought we regrouped after the first period. I thought Anaheim was definitely the better
    team in that first period. We were able to regroup and find our game in the second. They really in the first
    period made it hard for us to get to the neutral zone, harder to sustain that in a second period setting and
    that allowed us to really get our legs going. So that was a good period for us obviously, we got a lead
    again. Jack Campbell was great all the way throughout. We gave up certainly a lot more volume than we
    would have liked but I thought we defended pretty well tonight and kept things to the perimeter and limited
    rebound opportunities and such. Just a good team effort all the way through. Great road trip for us, this is
    a challenging game here to get through at the end of a long road trip, but the guys dug in and got a win
    and let us go home with a nice clean trip here. Really proud of the group.
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    On the teams recent run of success:
    Auston Matthews: “It feels great. We’re rolling. It seems like we’re just getting consistent play out of all
    four lines. Our goaltending has been amazing, whether it’s Woller, obviously Soup has been unbelievable
    for us all year. I can’t say enough good things about him. I think just all throughout our lineup we’re
    getting what we need from everybody and it’s been a full team effort every single night.”
    On whether it’s a mindset or the way it worked out that his three goals this road trip were scored
    from close to the net:
    Auston Matthews: “I think a little bit of both. I like to think I can score from different areas. Just try to get
    to the net. Obviously, that’s usually where goals are scored a big percentage of the time. A lot of times
    when it’s not going in from outside you just have to get to the net. I was fortunate to get a couple good
    bounces, a couple good tips and be able to cash in on some plays.”
    MICHAEL BUNTING
    On the teams recent run of success:
    Michael Bunting: “It’s fun to be apart of obviously when you’re winning hockey games. The mood in the
    room is upbeat everyone is happy so it’s really fun to be a part of. It was a great road trip for us, and we
    have to head home and face a good team in Colorado so enjoy tonight and look forward to that game on
    Wednesday.”
    On the team’s confidence level:
    Michael Bunting: “I think the confidence level is good. Everyone is contributing now. Guys are getting on
    the scoresheet and guys are playing their game and it showed tonight and it showed all road trip so I think
    everyone is having fun.”
    JACK CAMPBELL
    On the teams recent run of success:
    Jack Campbell: “Yeah the boys are having a blast out there, we’re working hard and executing the game
    plan. We’re just enjoying it and trying to get better.”
    On what impresses him about the team in front of him:
    Jack Campbell: “They’re just going above and beyond. Everyone is doing what the game plan is and
    sacrificing their bodies and just committing to their rolls and playing super hard for 60 plus minutes, if it
    takes more, they keep it going. Just really proud of the effort out there.”
    ALEXANDER KERFOOT
    On the teams recent run of success:
    Alexander Kerfoot: “Yeah, it’s a lot of fun, I mean anytime you’re winning in good stretches like this it’s a
    lot of fun. There’s lots of energy coming to the rink everyday and we’re playing good hockey so we’ve just
    got to keep it up. We’ve talked all year about consistent and it’s a long haul the 82-game season so trying
    to not get to high but also enjoying the good run we’re on right now.
    On if anything feels different to last year’s regular season success:
    Alexander Kerfoot: “I don’t know. Anytime you’re winning games it feels good and I think during the
    regular season last year we had good stretches and were playing really good hockey then as well so it’s
    tough to say. Defensively we’ve been really solid all year long this year and that has kind of allowed us to
    be in most games and obviously Soupy has been unbelievable so it doesn’t really feel a ton different I
    don’t think. I think we were playing good hockey last season as well but it’s good to keep the momentum
    going.

  • POSTGAME QUOTES:
    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

    On tonight’s win:
    Sheldon Keefe: “I thought tonight the guys worked hard. I thought we were really good in key moments,
    we had big time plays from both John and Will to start the game to put us up one. We had a huge goal in
    response to giving up one and then a great sequence that leads to the Matthews goal to get us to 3-1 and
    then a clinical powerplay to get us to 4-1. So there are really key moments there where we were really
    good but in general, I didn’t think we were very good at 5-on-5. The penalty killing was good, goaltending
    was good but our game at 5-on-5 didn’t look anything like it’s looked here of late. I don’t blame our
    approach or our mindset or anything like that it’s just the game was a lot quicker and lot more open today
    than we would like it to be or has been in recent games. We led virtually for the entire game and that
    leads to interesting and challenging dynamics. In terms of our work and our results and being good in
    very key moments those are all really good things for us in a 4-1 game where I didn’t think we were very
    good in.”
    WAYNE SIMMONDS
    On the performance of his line:
    Wayne Simmonds: “I felt like our game was touch and go to be honest with you. I thought we did a lot of
    good things but there were a lot of things we could have done better. In saying that, I thought we did a
    good job offensively and were in on a big goal together that helped the team win so all-in-all it was a
    pretty solid game.”
    On the team’s commitment to defence:
    Wayne Simmonds: “I think that is what we’ve been keying in on over the last little bit here. Everyone has
    done a really good job. Joseph Woll played really great tonight, he played unbelievable and he made
    some huge saves, especially in the third period and we didn’t allow them to creep back into the game so
    that was huge. We’ve made a conservative effort over the last long haul here to make sure we play this
    game well defensively and offensive will come through.”
    WILLIAM NYLANDER
    On the team’s performance:
    William Nylander: “I think we came out and generated chances and it was a little too much back-andforth I thought but other than that Joe made some huge saves for us and we just have to keep building off
    of that.”
    On if he’s been trying to generate more shots on net:
    William Nylander: “Yeah, I think I was slipping on my shots and haven’t been putting stuff on net and I
    need to keep that going and score goals.

HALL OF FAMER
General Manager Doug Wilson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 15. Wilson became the sixth player with Sharks roots to be
enshrined, following Igor Larionov (2008), Ed Belfour (2011), Rob Blake (2014), Sergei Makarov (2016) and Teemu Selanne (2017). In 1,024 NHL
games with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Sharks, Wilson recorded 827 career points (237g, 590a), which ranks 15th all-time amongst NHL
defensemen. Wilson was the recipient of the 1982 James Norris Trophy, was named to three NHL All-Star teams and played in seven NHL All-Star
Games. Internationally, he was selected to represent Canada in the 1984 Canada Cup and the Rendez-vous ’87 series. Acquired by the Sharks in 1991,
the blueliner served as the Sharks first captain during his two seasons (1991-1993) with the club as a player.

SUPER MARIO
Mario Ferraro blocked a season-high seven shots and recorded a pair of assists on Nov. 24 against Ottawa. The 23-year-old defenseman has 10 points
(2g, 8a) through the first 19 games of the season, his most through the first 19 games of a season in his career. Ferraro paces all NHL players in
blocked shots (58) and sits 12th among League skaters with 24:53 of ice time per game. In the month of November, he ranks tied-seventh among NHL
defensemen in points (2g, 7a) and eighth in time on ice per game (25:33). The alternate captain played a game-high and career-high 31:12 on Nov. 6
against New Jersey and is one of eight League skaters to play 30 or more minutes in a game this season.
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT
San Jose recorded a season-high 40 hits on Nov. 20 against Washington. This marked the 22nd time that the franchise had tallied 40 or more hits in a
game and the first time that the team recorded 40 or more hits since Oct. 2, 2019 at Vegas (also 40 hits). Rudolfs Balcers (six) and Radim Simek (five)
both tied career-highs for hits in the game. Jacob Middleton recorded a new career high for hits in a period and hits in a game with four hits in the first
period of the Sharks Nov. 22 game against Carolina.
SUBLIME REIM
James Reimer is sixth in save percentage (.936) and seventh in goals-against-average (2.04) among NHL goaltenders with five or more games played.
Reimer has helped the Sharks earn points in seven of his ten starts and earned the win in the Sharks Nov. 22 game against Carolina (22 saves) and
Nov. 24 game against Ottawa (26 saves). No goaltender in franchise history with five or more games played has posted a better save percentage (.950)
or goals-against-average (1.54) through the first ten games of a season. Reimer’s .936 save percentage and 1.86 goals-against-average in 19 regular
season games in a Sharks uniform leads all franchise goaltenders with more than ten games played.
TIMO TIME ALL THE TIME
Timo Meier has recorded at least one point in eleven of the fourteen games he has played in this year. This season, he is averaging career-bests in
points per game (1.29), time on ice per game (18:02), shots per game (4.21) and blocked shots per 60 minutes (2.85). Meier has recorded the gamewinning goal in two of the Sharks last three wins. The winger tallied three points (1g, 2a), three hits, two blocked shots and two takeaways in San Jose’s
6-3 win over Ottawa on Nov. 24.
KILLER EFFORT
Since Bob Boughner took over coaching duties on Dec. 11, 2019, San Jose has manned the sixth ranked penalty kill (82.5%) in the league and
are tied-eighth with ten short-handed goals in that span. This season, the Sharks currently rank second in the NHL on the penalty kill (48-for-54, 88.9%)
and are first in short-handed goal differential (minus-four).
ROOKIE CONTRIBUTIONS
Scott Reedy made his NHL debut on Nov. 22 to become the league-leading seventh club skater to make their debut this season (others: Jonathan
Dahlen, William Eklund, Santeri Hatakka, Artemi Kniazev, Ryan Merkley and Jasper Weatherby). San Jose also leads the NHL in number of
rookies to play games (ten) and number of rookie defensemen to play games (five). Entering Nov. 23, Dahlen is second among all League rookies in
goals (seven) and first in game-winning goals (two) and became the third Sharks skater ever to record two or more game-winning goals within their first
ten NHL career games (others: Marco Sturm – 3 GWG, Joe Pavelski – 2 GWG). Weatherby is first among 2021-22 League rookies (min. 100 faceoffs) in
faceoff percentage (50.3%).
MODEL OF CONSISTENCY
Since being named the team’s general manager on May 13, 2003, Doug Wilson has strategically built the San Jose Sharks into one of the NHL’s top
franchises through strong drafting, shrewd trades and timely free agent signings. In his 19 seasons in charge of the Sharks hockey department, Wilson
has guided the team to its most successful era since the franchise’s inception, capturing a Presidents’ Trophy (2009), five Pacific Division titles,
advancing to the Western Conference Final on five occasions (2004, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019) and appearing in the Stanley Cup Final (2016). In his
tenure as general manager, no other franchise has more wins than the Sharks (741):

RANK TEAM GP W L OT PTS PTS%
1 SAN JOSE 1441 741 445 155 1,637 61.0%
2 Boston 1,338 728 431 179 1,635 61.1%

5 Nashville 1,340 717 465 158 1,592 59.4%

BONINO BACK HOME
On Oct. 16, Sharks forward Nick Bonino became the fifth player in league history to play more than 500 career regular-season games before playing
their first game for the club that originally drafted them. Bonino was drafted by the Sharks in the sixth round (173rd overall) in 2007 but was traded to the
Anaheim Ducks on March 4, 2009.
On Nov. 24, Bonino scored his first goal for the Sharks and joined seven other players who had played 500 or more career regular-season games before
scoring their first goal for the club that originally drafted them.

    HEAD COACH SHELDON KEEFE

    Q: On tonight’s game
    Sheldon Keefe: “I thought we did some good things in terms of how we want to attack the net and
    increase our volume a little bit. I don’t know if it’s just a matter of some of the luck coming back our way. I
    mean I don’t know if we did anything a whole lot different than we’ve been doing in other games, but it
    was certainly nice to see it go in.”
    Q: On the status of David Kämpf
    Sheldon Keefe: “No update other than he was removed from the nature of the hit, precautionary, so he’ll
    be re-evaluated tomorrow and we’ll just take it from there.”
    AUSTON MATTHEWS
    Q: On what led to tonight’s surge of offense
    Auston Matthews: “I don’t know. I think we just kind of stayed patient the whole night and played really
    well within our structure and stayed patient and when opportunities presented themselves guys made
    plays and were able to capitalize.”
    JACK CAMPBELL:
    Q: On his first game back in LA since being traded
    Jack Campbell: “It was a fun game. Obviously we came out and played extremely well and just a great
    building, a lot of good memories here and a lot of familiar faces and thought our team played great

LA KINGS STORYLINES:
Brick Wall(s)
Goaltenders Jonathan Quick and Cal Petersen have posted incredible numbers over the Kings last 11 games (7-2-2). The tandem stopped 298 of 320
shots and has combined for a .931 save percentage, a 1.97 goals-against average and one shutout while allowing two goals or less in nine of the 11
games.
Individually, Jonathan Quick has been outstanding over his last six games (4-1-1) in which he has posted a .958 save percentage, a 1.31 goals-against
average and one shutout.
Streaking
The Kings as a team and individually all have had impressive streaks recently. The team tied the 11th longest point-streak in history (eight games, 7-0-
1), Oct. 28-Nov. 13. The teams’ seven-game winning streak recently came to an end. It was tied for the third longest such streak in the league this
season and tied for the seventh longest streak in franchise history. It was just the 12th time in franchise history that the team has won seven-or-more
consecutive games (franchise record is nine).
Forward Alex Iafallo had a seven-game point streak (5-5=10), Oct. 28-Nov. 9. He has the sixth most points and is tied for the sixth most goals in the
league since Oct. 28. It is tied for the sixth longest streak by any player in the NHL. The streak was the second longest of his career (nine games, Dec.
21, 2019-Jan. 9, 2020, 4-6=10). He also scored a goal at 0:06 seconds of the third period, Nov. 9 at MTL. It was the fastest goal to start a period in
franchise history, surpassing the previous record of 0:07 set by Dave Williams on Feb. 14, 1987 vs. Hartford. It is also the fastest goal in the league
since Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher scored at the 0:06 second mark on Oct. 19, 2019.









Adrian Kempe recently saw his career-long four-game goal streak come to an end. It matches the longest by any player in the league this season.
Comeback Kings
The Kings came from behind in the third period to win in consecutive games (Oct. 31 vs. BUF and Nov. 3 vs. STL). It is the 19th time in franchise history
they have accomplished this feat (last: Mar. 21-23, 2019).
Clague-cellant
Rookie defenseman Kale Clague registered a point in each of his first three of the games he played in this season (0-3=3).
