It's April 12th. This is San Jose Sharks News Today, powered by AI. Your team, your update. The San Jose Sharks likely played their last home game of the 2025-26 NHL season, dropping a 4-3 shootout decision to the Vancouver Canucks at SAP Center. Macklin Celebrini capped his monster year with a shootout goal and two assists, hitting 110 points. Good for fourth in the league.
What happened in the Sharks' last home game against the Canucks?
Igor Chernyshov lit the lamp twice, Tyler Toffoli added his 19th, and Yaroslav Askarov stood tall with 38 saves before the sixth round. Heartbreaker. That sold-out crowd got a weird show, starting with Vancouver's Marco Rossi somehow jamming one in after Askarov yanked his own net down. Refs let it. Stand, the Canucks clawed back from three deficits, tying it late in the second and forcing OT with seconds left on the power play. Sharks jumped out crisp in the first, firing 11 shots and buzzing early, a big step up from their flat starts against Edmonton and Anaheim. Fans felt the buzz turn to buzzkill, but the team showed real grit. No quit in these Sharks. Chernyshov scrapped with Filipranek after Celebrini took a hit, and Dmitry Orlov mixed it up too.
For a squad on the playoff bubble, that fire and pride hits different, keeping the tank's energy alive even in defeat. Playoff hopes hang by a thread at 82 points.
San Jose needs a perfect sweep of their final three, Nashville, Chicago, Winnipeg, while the Kings at 87 drop all theirs in Nashville at 86 and Winnipeg at 82, stumble two.
How did Macklin Celebrini perform in the game?
Slim odds, but math don't lie.
Next week's results will seal it, but these Sharks ended the home slate swinging, building momentum for whatever comes next in teal.
