The Sharks fall to the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 in the second of three meetings between these two teams this month.
The Oilers struck first on a slap shot by Evan Bouchard early in the opening period. They then extended their lead to two via Ty Emberson against his former team later in the first period, followed soon after by Will Smith scoring his 18th goal of the season and fifth goal in his past four games, assisted by Nikolai Kovalenko, to get the Sharks on the board.
Early in the second period, the Sharks tied the game at two on Henry Thrun’s second goal of the season, which went off of the back of Darnell Nurse’s skate and into the net, assisted by William Eklund. The Oilers went back ahead early in the third period on a power play goal by Corey Perry to make it 3-2 Edmonton. Edmonton added one more goal via an empty-netter scored by Connor Brown to cap this one off.
Georgi Romanov is still searching for his first NHL win, recording 30 saves on 33 shots against. In addition, Mario Ferraro is done for the season due to a lower-body injury, Jan Rutta made his return to the Sharks lineup after a lengthy absence due to injury, and another top prospect in the Sharks organization has been loaned to the Barracuda in time for their Calder Cup playoff push, this time in Igor Chernyshov.
It has been a rather close contest between these two clubs until the very end, but a subpar penalty kill was the main factor that led to the Sharks’ eighth consecutive loss tonight. Team Teal now heads into its final three games of the 2024-25 season, starting on Sunday in Calgary against the Flames at 5 pm PT.
