Just a minute into the opening period, San Jose took control. After the Kraken failed to clear the puck from their zone, John Klingberg kept it alive and passed to Tyler Toffoli, who then found Macklin Celebrini at center ice. Celebrini fired quickly, scoring the first goal of the night.
Kraken’s Momentary Equalizer
Late in the first period, the Kraken managed to tie the game with three and a half minutes remaining. Ryan Winterton carried the puck through the neutral zone and fired on goal, but his initial attempt was blocked by Yaroslav Askarov. Shane Wright recovered the rebound, passed to Ryan Lindgren at the blue line, who returned it to Winterton. This time, Winterton’s shot found the top corner for his first NHL goal.
Sharks Regain the Lead
Only two minutes later, the Sharks responded. Jeff Skinner intercepted the puck in the neutral zone and advanced it with Alexander Wennberg. Wennberg sent a cross-ice pass to Ethan Cardwell, whose precise shot slipped past Joey Daccord, restoring San Jose’s lead. The Sharks maintained control for the rest of the game, cruising to a 6-1 victory.
