Kevin Labanc Snaps Cold Streak, Leads Sharks to Victory
5 years agoSan Jose Sharks forward Kevin Labanc did a bit of everything Saturday night as he earned a point on every San Jose goal in a shootout victory. After scoring a goal and two assists during regulation, Labanc scored the lone shootout goal, which secured the victory. It was a welcome change for Labanc, who had failed to score a point in his last five games and had not scored multiple points in a game this season. Coming off of a 56 point campaign last season, with an assumed increase in usage, expectations were growing for Labanc, who now has 12 points in 21 games. With two streaks of at least four consecutive scoreless games under his belt this season, Labanc has been streaky but is on pace for 47 points. Now playing on the top line with Logan Couture and Evander Kane, he could still live up to last season's production making him worth keeping an eye on.
