The Sharks get their first win in the Stealth jerseys this season as they take down the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime in their last game of the calendar year. It was also Martin Jones' return to SAP Center since joining the Flyers this past offseason.
San Jose didn't get the start it wanted, as the Flyers scored the first goal of the game via Morgan Frost late in the first period. However, the Sharks made up for it, scoring the next two in the second period from Logan Couture on the breakaway shorthanded and Brent Burns with a wicked wrister. The Flyers answered back late in the third on one from Joel Farabee to force overtime. Tomas Hertl pokes one past Felix Sandstrom to give Team Teal the extra point in overtime.
Andrew Cogliano, Jake Middleton, Tomas Hertl, Erik Karlsson, and Noah Gregor each recorded assists in the Sharks' second-straight win. The Sharks also generated 46 shots on goal against the Flyers.
Before the game, Mario Ferraro was placed in COVID protocol, while Jonathan Dahlen left COVID protocol and rejoined the Sharks.
James Reimer had another decent start, recording 23 saves and continuing to fly under the radar among goalies across the NHL in terms of his overall performance this season.
It feels great for the Sharks to close out the calendar year with a win and finally break the curse of the Stealth jerseys. San Jose kicks off the 2022 calendar year with a four-game road trip beginning on Sunday in Pittsburgh against the Penguins at 10 am PT.
