The Sharks kicked off Halloween weekend by facing off against the New Jersey in Long Beach, and the outcome was far from scary. The Sharks kicked off the scoring halfway through the first when Eli McCarthy ripped one glove side. Just 36 seconds later, Tate Cakir picked the same spot and put the Sharks up 2-0 headed into the first intermission. Early in the second, Anthony Valeriote flipped a quick shot past the Titans’ goalie. 53 seconds later, Rhett Micallef capitalized off a rebound to put the Sharks up 4-0. The Titans tried to rally in the third, but it wasn’t enough. The Sharks went on to win 4-0. Caden Wright got the win between the pipes for the Sharks.
On Sunday, the Norwich Sea Captains came to town, and the Sharks sent them back to Connecticut with a loss. The Sharks led the scoring in the first when Roberto Gamez tipped one in from the doorstep. Norwich tied it up halfway through the second, but that was all the offense they could muster. Garrett Davidson answered back with a rocket from the point to put the Sharks up 2-1 headed into the second intermission. Early in the third, Davidson ripped one from the circle on the power play for his second of the game. Then with just less than five minutes left in the game, Anthony Valeriote dekes one past the Sea Captain’s tendy. The Sharks topped Norwich 4-1. Colton Spavento got the win in net for the Sharks.
With 2 goals and 2 assists on the weekend, Anthony Valeriote was selected as the East’s Second Star of the Week.
The Sharks are back in action next weekend as they head to New Jersey to face off against the Garden State Gamblers.
