  • Sharks Feast with 4-0 Win Over Jets
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-lose-4-0-to-sharks-460024623.html Sharks feast with 4-0 win over Jets By: Jason Bell SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Winnipeg Jets were left smarting from a rather nasty Shark attack Saturday night — especially goalie Steve Mason. After two terrific performances late in the week, the Jets concluded a California getaway with a game that got away from them in San Jose. The Sharks built a two-goal lead after 20 minutes, withstood a strong push from the visitors in the final 40 and hung on to register a 4-0 triumph at SAP Center. It’s the first time Winnipeg has been shut out this season. The Jets might need to promote a goaltender after Mason suffered an upper-body injury in the first period — and there’s concern about a possible concussion – although either guy on the Jets’ AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, looks ready if the call comes. A wicked slap shot from winger Jannik Hansen at 8:43 was the likely cause of Mason’s early exit as the blast struck him squarely in the mask. He gathered himself, stayed in for the ensuing faceoff and finished out the period, stopping 11 of 13 shots. But he was nowhere to be seen after the intermission, as Connor Hellebuyck took over to begin the second. Head coach Paul Maurice said Mason’s health will be evaluated Sunday. That will, undoubtedly, include monitoring for the effects of a possible concussion. "He stayed in (after the shot) and said he was OK after that.
