SAN JOSE, California — The Calgary Flames capitalized on their offensive opportunities and displayed a solid defensive structure to defeat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 on Monday night at the SAP Center.

Expectations were high for a response from San Jose following their recent poor results during this homestead, but the Sharks once again struggled to maintain consistency throughout the 60 minutes. The home team was outplayed at various points in the game despite showing good sparks of hockey particularly on the defensive end while their offense struggled to generate clear scoring chances against the Calgary goal.

The Flames took the lead in the first period thanks to Adam Klapka, who opened the scoring with a wrist shot with 5:24 remaining in the frame after a pass deflected. Jonathan Castagna provided the assist on the goal, putting Calgary up 1-0.

San Jose sought to respond during the second period, but they encountered a well-organized Calgary side that closed down space and limited the opportunities for the Sharks’ key offensive threats.

The visitors extended their lead in the third period. William Stromgren netted Calgary’s second goal at the 9:14 mark, finishing off a team play that involved assists from both Adam Klapka and Jonathan Castagna.

The Sharks finally had their response through when Sam Dickinson scored with a wrist shot past goaltender Dustin Wolf with 8:03 left in the game. However, San Jose’s offensive push was not enough to force an equalizer.

Calgary played an intelligent game, relying on collective effort, tactical discipline, and a defensive structure that consistently stifled the home team. Goaltender Dustin Wolf was also instrumental, finishing the night with 26 saves. Meanwhile, Yaroslav Askarov recorded 20 saves for San Jose, a team that once again struggled to convert possession into dangerous scoring chances.

The loss marks another difficult result for the Sharks, who needed to show a response following a 5-1 defeat to the Ottawa Senators in their previous outing. San Jose entered the game with only one win in their last four matches, while Calgary was looking to bounce back from a 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Ultimately, the Flames achieved their goal thanks to a collective performance that exposed San Jose’s ongoing struggles to generate offense and maintain defensive stability. For the Sharks, the challenge remains the same finding consistency, finding their game, and ensuring that their offensive talent translates into actual results on the ice.

Sharks prepare to go on the road vs. Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

Sharks vs Canucks at SAP Center on Oct 29, 2026

San Jose Sharks game wrap: Clutch Impressive 3-2 Comeback Over the Vancouver Canucks

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By: Fernando Abarca

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A good win always feels better when needed the most. Will Smith scored twice in the third period, and Mason Marchment added the go-ahead goal as the San Jose Sharks rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Thursday night at SAP Center.

The Sharks overcame a frustrating first two periods to score three unanswered goals in the final period, ending a two-game losing streak. Vancouver took control early, with Drew O’Connor opening the scoring at 13:21 in the first period after capitalizing on a San Jose defensive turnover. Elias Pettersson assisted on the goal.

The Canucks extended their advantage to 2-0 late in the second period when Liam Ohgren scored at 18:56, giving Vancouver momentum heading into the second intermission.

San Jose struggled to generate consistent offense in the first 40 minutes, and frustration was evident as 15,000 fans felt the desperation. The Sharks had also failed to capitalize on their first four power-play opportunities.

However, coach Ryan Warsofsky made adjustments as San Jose looked for a spark, and the team responded with a much stronger third period. For a reason, if it is not broken, do not fix it. It seems Warsofsky came to terms.

Smith started the comeback at 8:00, scoring on the power play with assists from Dmitry Orlov and Marchment to cut Vancouver’s lead to 2-1.

Just 2 minutes and 39 seconds later, Smith found the back of the net again at 10:39, tying the game 2-2. Macklin Celebrini recorded an assist on the equalizer, earning his 16th point of the season.

The Sharks completed the comeback only 11 seconds later. Marchment scored at 10:50 after a play involving Kiefer Sherwood and Nolan Allan, giving San Jose its first lead of the night at 3-2.

Goaltender Yaroslav Askarov played an important role in the victory, stopping 23 shots, including a crucial late save to preserve the Sharks’ advantage during the closing minutes of the 3rd.

Thursday’s matchup also marked the NHL debut of forward Filip Bystedt, who was recently recalled from the American Hockey League. The young center recorded two shots on goal in 10:28 of ice time as he began his NHL career.

Despite the defeat, Vancouver showed a more aggressive approach offensively, particularly during the opening two periods, taking advantage of San Jose’s defensive mistakes and creating scoring opportunities. However, the Canucks were unable to maintain their advantage during the final 20 minutes in a game where it seemed that it was going to be the same as Tuesday night vs. Anaheim.

The Sharks will look to build on Thursday’s comeback when they host the Ottawa Senators on Saturday afternoon at SAP Center. Also that afternoon, the Sharks will celebrate Tiburones Night.

Sharks shut out by Sabres, 2-0; fifth loss in eight games

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Sharks (6-6-1) took a 2-0 shutout loss to the Buffalo Sabres (5-4-3) for the first of four consecutive home games on Tuesday night.

Coming off a road trip that spanned six games through nine days, the Sharks returned home looking for a win. San Jose went 3-2-1 on the road trip.

The story of the Sharks lineup prior to puck drop was the news of Will Smith departing from Macklin Celebrini’s line. The duo had spent the entirety of the young season put on a line together, which changed after head coach Ryan Warsofsky adjusted the lines prior to Tuesday’s game. Smith was paired with Michael Misa at center and Mason Marchment at left wing.

The Sharks started with the Goodrow-Ostapchuk-Gaudette line. Backing them up on the blue line was the pair of Orlov and Cagnoni. Yaroslav Askarov started in net.

On the opposing side, the Sabres came into Tuesday’s matchup having dropped their last three. The Sabres are coming off a season in which they made their first postseason appearance in 15 seasons. Their 4-4-1 record is not what head coach Lindy Ruff and the Sabres had in mind through the end of October. They came in with a lot to prove. At the same time, the Sabres recently have seen success in San Jose. Their last four trips to SAP have had them coming out as the winning team.

Ruff went with the starting lineup of Peyton Krebs, Beck Malenstyn and Tyson Kozak on offense. On defense he turned to Olen Zellweger and Owen Power. In net, Colten Ellis.

The first period featured chances at both ends, but neither team scored. Buffalo outshot San Jose 16-12,
both goaltenders remained perfect. Two power plays for San Jose, one for Buffalo.

Most fans were still returning to their seats when Sabres’ defenseman Olen Zellweger scored the game’s opening goal. A low blocker-side shot beat Askarov. No other offense came to be in the middle frame. Two power plays, one apiece, both killed off.

After 40 scoreless minutes, the Sharks entered the third period looking for a goal.

In the third, the Sharks’ passes weren’t connecting and their shots were being blocked, a trend that had been continuous throughout regulation. San Jose registered seven shots in the final frame, none finding the back of the net. In an attempt to get the tying goal, Warsofsky pulled Askarov with just under two minutes remaining in regulation. No chances came with the extra man for San Jose. Sabres’ defenseman Zack Benson stole the puck off the stick of Sharks’ rookie Ivar Stenberg in the Sabres’ offensive zone, leaving himself all alone with the empty net to seal the game with the Sabres’ second goal.

Following the outcome, one thing was apparent: this matchup was a battle of goaltending. Both goalies played strong.

Yaroslav Askarov came into Tuesday’s game sporting a .883 SV% and a 3.44 GAA following a shaky start to the 2026-27 campaign. Following the conclusion of the game, Askarov ended up being the Sharks’ most valuable player despite earning the loss in net. He stopped 38 of 39 shots, and made several saves off high-danger scoring chances. After his performance, he was able to raise his save percentage to .898 and was able to lower his GAA to 3.13. Askarov had a 2.36 GSAX (Goals Saved Above Expected). One of his strongest performances in the young season.

On the other end of the ice, Sabres’ netminder Colten Ellis stood perfect through 60. Ellis stopped all 24 of the Sharks shots for his first shutout of the season and the second of his career. Ellis has a small sample size in the NHL, having only 20 games played, yet has come to prove himself as a reliable backup for Lindy Ruff and staff to turn to.

The Sabres have now won their last five games at SAP Center.

The Sharks face the Vancouver Canucks for their next game, 7 p.m. Thursday night.
