The Sharks hold on in a nail-biter as they earn their second win of the season by a score of 6-5 over the Minnesota Wild.
Team Teal got off to another great start in this game, scoring the first goal on the power play via William Eklund for his third of the season, assisted by Macklin Celebrini and Dmitry Orlov. Later in the opening period, Michael Misa scored his first NHL goal to extend the Sharks' lead to two, assisted by Timothy Liljegren. However, the Wild would respond with two quick goals from Marcus Johansson and Marco Rossi to tie the game at two before the end of the first period. The Sharks went ahead by two in a span of 19 seconds in the second period on William Eklund's second goal of the game and fourth goal of the season, assisted by Philipp Kurashev, followed by Ryan Reaves' second goal of the season, assisted by Barclay Goodrow and Ty Dellandrea.
The Wild got back within one via Ryan Hartman early in the third period. The Sharks restored their two-goal advantage in the third period on a power play goal by Tyler Toffoli for his third goal of the season, assisted by Macklin Celebrini and William Eklund. Soon after, Zeev Buium scored for the Wild to make it 5-4, while Minnesota tied the game at five via Joel Eriksson Ek with close to two minutes left in regulation. Luckily for the Sharks, they were able to finish this one strong and earn the victory in overtime on Macklin Celebrini's sixth goal of the season to complete his day with three points against the Wild and nine points in the final three games of the Sharks' first major road trip of the season. This OT winner was potted on a breakaway opportunity and absolutely unreal.
Yaroslav Askarov earned his first win of the season for the Sharks, compiling 28 saves on 33 shots against. In addition, Adam Gaudette exited the game after the conclusion of the second period due to an upper-body injury.
While they allowed the Wild to come back and even tie the game at times, it was great to see the Sharks get their second win of the campaign in another overtime thriller and end their first significant road trip of the season on a high note. Macklin Celebrini is on another planet right now, William Eklund is heating up, and it was just a matter of time before Michael Misa scored his first NHL goal. Nearly everything went right for the Sharks in this remarkable victory, and I hope they continue to fire on all cylinders and stay hot. San Jose returns home for its next four games, starting on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings at 8 pm PT.
