For the San Jose Sharks, it's January 30th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The San Jose Sharks faced off against the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton, putting together an exciting game that ended in a 4-3 overtime loss for the Sharks.
They jumped out to a 3-1 lead early, thanks to goals from Colin Graff, Adam Gaudette, and Michael Misa, but couldn't hold on as the Oilers. Mounted a comeback.
The Sharks came out flying in the first period, scoring twice in the first 1 minute 35 seconds, matching their hot starts against the Rangers and Canucks recently. Graff's goal came from slick top-line play forcing a turnover, Gaudette tapped in a beauty feed from Eklund, and Misa finished a stretch pass from Lil' Jagrin.
Chapter 2: What happened in the Sharks vs. Oilers game?
Young star Macklin Celebrini even shadowed Connor McDavid effectively. Meanwhile, the Oilers pushed back hard, with Leon Dreisaitl sniping one pass goalie, Askarov, to cut it to 3-2 in the third period. The Sharks killed a big penalty and got strong forechecking from guys like Misa and Eklund, but Edmonton kept the pressure on during cycles that have haunted San Jose for years.
In the final minutes, with Ingram pulled, McDavid tied it on a power play-style goal after a long cycle. Then in overtime, a bad turnover by Logegrin led to Hyman beating Askeroff for the winner, with Oliggrin accidentally screening his own goalie. It's a tough lesson for these young Sharks, who show tons of promise against Edmonton stars, but need to learn how to close out games.
Still, the fight from Celebrini and the rookies keeps fans hopeful as they battle through a rebuilding season. This episode is supported by our sponsor. When I need calm, I press play on a Soli pillow.
