http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/121 Recent articles about the San Jose Sharks en-us For the first time all season the Worcester Sharks were totally outplayed by an opponent, but some key saves by rookie netminder Alex Stalock kept the WorSharks in the game all night. Unfortunately the offense couldn't keep up with the goaltending as Worcester dropped a 2-1 decision to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins Saturday night at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts in front of 3,597 fans. The Penguins would get all the offense they needed while Dan DaSilva served a well de...

After facing just three shots in the first period, the Penguins tested Nabokov with 24 shots in the final two periods.
