It's April 12th. You're listening to San Jose Sharks News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Vancouver Canucks pulled off a 4-3 shootout win over the San Jose Sharks, putting the home team right on the edge of missing the playoffs. Linus Carlsen sealed it with a slick goal in the sixth round, beating Yaroslav Askarov after both sides traded one each in the first five. That victory snapped Vancouver's four-game losing streak and ruined San Jose's last home game of a solid season. The game stayed tight all night.
What happened in the Vancouver Canucks vs. San Jose Sharks game?
Sharks grabbed the 3-2 lead late in the third when Igor Chernyshov netted his second, but Teddy Bluger tied it up on the power play with three minutes left. Marco Rossi and Jake DeBrusque also scored for the Canucks, while Tyler Toffoli tallied one for San Jose. Sharks fans felt the sting after their squad jumped 30 points in the standings from finishing dead last the past two years. Now they sit five points behind Los Angeles for that final wildcard spot in the West with just three games remaining. Macklin Celebrini dished assists on both Ternyshov goals, hitting 110 points and chasing Joe Thornton's franchise record by four.
Goalies kept it close. Kevin Lankanen stopped 28 shots for Vancouver. Oskarov turned aside 38 for San Jose.
How did Linus Karlsson secure the victory for the Canucks?
No major injuries reported, but the loss amps up the pressure on a young Sharks core that's exceeded expectations.
Canucks roll into Anaheim Sunday night, while Sharks head to Nashville Monday. Western Conference wildcard fight stays wide open as the regular season winds down.
