Overview
- Brandt Clarke scored the winner with 6:40 left as Los Angeles escaped San Jose’s rally from 0-3 to 3-3; Darcy Kuemper stopped 37 of 41 shots and the Sharks failed to convert during a six-shot late power play.
- San Jose remains the NHL’s only team without a regulation win and extended its home skid, despite goals from Will Smith, Philipp Kurashev and Alexander Wennberg.
- Macklin Celebrini extended his point streak to five games and was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week after posting 10 points on a 2-2-0 road trip.
- Two nights earlier, Celebrini capped a three-point outing with the overtime winner in a 6-5 victory at Minnesota, where Michael Misa recorded his first NHL goal and William Eklund scored twice.
- Teenagers Celebrini (19) and Misa (18) factored in 11 consecutive Sharks goals dating to Oct. 21, a feat matched only once before in NHL history, while the team continues to leak goals and allow power-play tallies.
