SUNRISE, Fla. – Mackenzie Blackwood didn’t need an apology, but his Sharks teammates gave him one anyway.

After the game, both alternate captain Tomas Hertl and coach David Quinn were peeved -- not at Forsberg, but at the Sharks for not immediately standing up for their goaltender.
“I was [disappointed],” Hertl said. “It’s 5-1, you have to cross-check somebody and show them they can’t do anything.”
“That will be addressed,” Quinn said.
