SAN JOSE -- After two days off, the San Jose Sharks got back to work Friday, and coach Todd McLellan put them through the gauntlet.
Actually, "the old gauntlet" drill," as Sharks forward TJ Galiardi called it.
One by one, each player fought his way past every other teammate, who was lined up along the boards.
"It's a fun drill," McLellan said. "Most of them enjoy doing it, have a lot of fun with it. We haven't practiced for so long, and the physicality part of the game right now is something you can't lose. After taking a couple days off we wanted to bump and grind."
