It was a close, low-scoring affair between the Sharks and Red Wings, but the Red Wings never fully gave up their lead and prevailed in the shootout by a score of 3-2.
Detroit struck first on a goal from Lucas Raymond late in the second period. Team Teal responded early in the third period on Jeff Skinner’s fourth goal of the season, assisted by Philipp Kurashev and Dmitry Orlov. With the primary assist on this equalizer, Kurashev extended his point streak to four games. Later in the third period, Moritz Seder scored to regain the lead for Detroit, while the Sharks responded soon after on Sam Dickinson’s first NHL goal, assisted by Will Smith and Patrick Giles. This would ultimately force overtime and a shootout, where James Van Riemsdyk’s goal in the skills competition would win it for the Red Wings.
Alex Nedeljkovic was back in the crease for the Sharks to face one of his former teams, compiling 29 saves on 31 shots against. In addition, earlier today the Sharks placed Ryan Reaves on injured reserve and recalled Ethan Cardwell from the Barracuda. Michael Misa was a healthy scratch, and William Eklund did not play in this game due to a lower-body injury.
The Sharks were unable to earn the extra point in the standings, and their overall performance took a bit of a step back compared to their past few games. Fortunately, they were able to keep this one close and give themselves a chance to win. It was great to see Sam Dickinson score his first NHL goal, Philipp Kurashev continue to perform well, and Alex Nedeljkovic provide great goaltending for this Sharks team. Team Teal travels to Seattle to face the Kraken for the first time this season in their next game on Wednesday at 7 pm PT.
