While the film competition went on, Brett took Joy and Garrett to the Shark Tank for a perfect day of midday hockey. We ate lunch and walked to the game. It was the Sharks vs the Washington Capitals for the Caps only visit to San Jose on the year. Alex Ovechkin (8) was chasing Wayne Gretzky's goals scored record in the NHL and he did not disappoint, recording goal #887 of his career. In the meantime, the Sharks boast two of the best rookies in Macklin Celebrini (71) and Will Smith (2) with Celebrini pocketing the Sharks loan goal of the day. Those were Brett's two goals for the game and he got both of them acknowledging that the Sharks (worst record in the NHL) were not going to beat the team with the best record in the NHL.
