Sharks Blow Another 3rd Period Lead, Lose Dickinson’s Debut 7-6 to Ducks in OT
The San Jose Sharks hosted the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center, marking Sam Dickinson’s NHL debut. Despite goals from Tyler Toffoli, Ryan Reaves, Mario Ferraro, John Klingberg, Adam Gaudette, and Jeff Skinner, the Sharks lost 7-6 in overtime.
In the first period, Mario Ferraro made a notable play, stepping up to prevent an exit pass and finding Eklund, who made a remarkable move, ankle-turning Zellweger. Although this play did not lead to a goal, it was an impressive display of skill.
Will Smith plays a different game than Celebrini, one is go-go-go, one is slow-slow-slow (in a good way).
Smith's playing style allowed him to slow down Celebrini's pass, setting up Toffoli for a one-time goal. This shift was notable for its impressive teamwork, starting with Celebrini drawing a penalty while trying to split the defense.
