The San Jose Sharks lost 6-4 to the Boston Bruins Saturday. Casey Mittelstadt, Marat Khusnutdinov, David Pastrnak, James Hagens, David Minten and Will Borgen scored for Boston. Jeremy Swayman made 23 saves for the win. Michael Misa, Kiefer Sherwood, Dmitry Orlov and Will Smith scored for San Jose. Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves in the loss.

The Sharks finished this road trip 3-2-1. After the game, Sharks goaltender Alex Nedljkovic talked about the long eastern trip:

“We had chances, we had some momentum and just let it kind of slip away, and didn’t finish. Yeah, it’s a tough one to swallow right now, definitely, pretty sour taste in your mouth, at least for me. We did a lot of good things. I think there’s still plenty of room for us to grow, a lot of room for us to grow in certain areas and get better at. So we’ll take the five hundred record. It’s a tough trip, a long trip, played in some tough buildings.”

Casey Mittelstadt scored the first goal of the game at 3:08 of the first period. He passed the puck forward from behind the net, then joined the scrum in front of the net to poke the puck home. Assists went to Elias Lindholm and James Hagens.

Michael Misa tied the game at 5:54 with a power play goal. Tyler Toffoli sent the puck to the net from high up the boards. It went through the blue paint and out the other side. Misa was waiting for it and knocked it home. Assists went to Toffoli and Jacob Trouba.

The shots were 12-11 Boston in the first period. The Bruins took two penalties and the Sharks took none.

Marat Khusnutdinov gave the Bruins their second lead of the night with a goal at 8:20 of the second period. The Bruins had the puck moving all around the Sharks zone before Morgan Geekie got it in front of the net. But the Sharks defense was on him, so Geekie handed it off to Khusnutdinov, who found a little space and backhanded it in. An assist also went to Fraser Minten.

Kiefer Sherwood tied it up again with a short handed goal at 13:34. Sherwood intercepted a pass in the neutral zone, carried the puck in and beat Swayman on the stick side.

The shots were 11-6 Boston in the second. The Sharks took three penalties and Boston took one, until Michael Kesselring responded to being boarded by Mark Kastelic and got a roughing penalty. They each got a minor for those, and then fighting majors to boot.

Dmitry Orlov gave the Sharks their only lead of the game with a power play goal at 4:03 of the third period. His slap shot came from the blue line, assisted by Ivar Stenberg and Mason Marchment.

David Pastrnak tied it back up again at 8:27. He caught a cross-ice pass from JJ Peterka and fired off a snap shot from above the faceoff dot.

James Hagens gave the Bruins a 4-3 lead at 9:07, wristing it through a crowd at the blue paint. An assist went to Lindholm.

David Minten scored a power play goal at the 12 minute mark. Minten knocked in a rebound from a Peterka shot. Assists went to Peterka and Mittelstadt.

Will Smith gave the Sharks life with a goal at 12:27. His shot came from just inside the faceoff circle. Assists went to Jacob Trouba and Macklin Celebrini.

Will Borgen put the game away with an empty netter at 19:32.

The third saw an early fight at 2:38 between Tanner Jeannot and Zack Ostapchuk. After that, the Bruins took three penalties and the Sharks took one. The shots were 12-9 Boston.

The Sharks next play on Tuesday at home against the Buffalo Sabres at 7:30 PM PT.

OTTAWA– The San Jose Sharks defeated the Ottawa Senators 6-2 Thursday. Nolan Allan, Tyler Toffoli, Collin Graf, Jacob Trouba, Zack Ostapchuk and Ivar Stenberg, scored for San Jose. Yaroslav Askarov made 41 saves for the win. Tim Stützle and Jordan Spence scored for Ottawa. Samuel Ersson made 22 saves in the 6-2 loss. This was the Sharks’ first regulation win of the season and their first win in Ottawa since 2021.

The team scored two short-handed goals in the game. After the game, Collin Graf talked this aggressive penalty-killing: “Especially up ice, we’ve got a lot of fast guys out there, guys that have good sticks and can get up there so we’d might as well play to our strengths a little bit.”

The game saw the Sharks on their heels frequently, especially in the third period. The burden then fell to their goaltender Yaroslav Askarov to keep them in the game. Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky said: “We were under siege for the majority of that game. He made some big saves at big times.”

Tim Stützle gave Ottawa a lead at 6:16 of the first period. Drake Batherson made a cross-ice pass as Stützle skated to the net. Stützle caught the pass near the face-off dot and shot the puck by Askarov on the blocker side. Assists went to Batherson and Warren Foegele.

Nolan Allan tied the game at 11:04. Allan caught the puck along the boards and passed it up to Dmitry Orlov on the blue line. Orlov sent it back in as if to Igor Chernyshov but it went by him to Allan, who was on his way to the net. His snap shot went by Samuel Ersson on the glove side.

The shots were 11-8 San Jose in the first. There was only one penalty called in the first and it was to the Senators. The Sharks penalty kill allowed no shots.

The second period was very prolific for the Sharks. Tyler Toffoli started the scoring glut at 9:13 with a power play goal. After a back and forth with Kiefer Sherwood, Toffoli took his shot from just below the blue line and scored on the glove side. Assists went to Sherwood and Jacob Trouba.

Less than three minutes later, Collin Graf scored a short-handed goal with a diving shot. Graf broke the puck out, then made a drop-pass to Ty Dellandrea. Dellandrea sent it to the net for Graf. Assists went to Dellandrea and Sam Dickinson.

Less than two minutes after that, Trouba scored to make it 4-1. Darnell Nurse sent the puck to the corner where Graf tracked it down and centered it for Trouba’s snap shot.

The shots for the period were 18-11 Senators. The Sharks took two penalties to the Senators’ one. The Sharks penalty kill allowed six shots and scored one goal. Their power play had just two shots before they scored.

Jordan Spence got one back for the Senators at 6:24 of the third period. In a four-on-two rush, Fabian Zetterlund carried the puck in and then passed it to Spence for a wrist shot up the middle. Assists went to Zetterlund and Nikolas Matinpalo.

With Macklin Celebrini in the box for tripping Carter Yakenchuk, the Senators pulled their goaltender for a six-on-four power play. Instead, Zack Ostapchuk scored into an empty net to make it 5-2. Barclay Goodrow got the assist.

Ivar Stenberg scored a second empty-net goal at 19:43. Assists went to Kiefer Sherwood and Michael Misa.

The shots in the third period were 17-6 Senators.

Late in the first period, Igor Chernyshov blockee a shot and left the game. The Sharks were also playing without Alexander Wennberg for the second straight game due to injury. He is described as week-to-week.

The Sharks next play on Saturday at 4:00 PM PT in Boston against the Bruins.

The Sharks were down 3-1 at the start of the third period but recovered in the third to force overtime. After the game, Michael Misa talked about the late turn-around:

“I think we were just connected, playing desperate like especially with the puck in their zone, we were forechecking hard, playing through their… you know, they’ve got a lot of skilled D over there so you try to play through them and make them turn over pucks. And I thought we did a good job of that in the third.”

Macklin Celebrini scored the first goal of the game at 13:49 of the first period. Jake Evans had the puck along the boards in Montreal’s zone and Will Smith was pressuring him. He made a pass that Celebrini intercepted, leading to a snap shot from the slot. It was Celebrini’s fourth goal of the season.

Nick Suzuki tied the game at 16:38. Gathering up a stray puck in the neutral zone, Juraj Slafkovský carried the puck into the zone two-on-one with Suzuki. Slafkovský chose to pass and Suzuki scored from just inside the faceoff circle.

The first period shots were 12-10 Montreal. The Sharks took two penalties in the period, allowing one shot to the Montreal power play and mustering one short-handed shot.

Slafkovský made it 2-1 with a snap shot at 1:49. He carried the puck into the zone at speed, skated to the net and snapped it in. An assist went to Cole Caulfield.

Caulfield scored at 14:03 to make it 3-1. He caught Suzuki’s pass from behind the net to snap the puck into the net. Assists went to Suzuki and Phillip Danault.

The shots in the second period were 11-10 Montreal. The penalties were numerous but mostlly came from one scrum at 11:57. Four minors were handed out at that time, two to each team. The Sharks were the only team to be short-handed in the second with one penalty at 17:27.

Michael Misa started the comeback at 5:36 of the third period. Misa and Kiefer Sherwood drove the play out of the Sharks’ zone and carried the puck to the other end. Misa’s snap shot beat the goalie on the stick side.

The San Jose Sharks lost 3-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday. Auston Matthews, Gavin McKenna and Nick Paul scored for the Leafs. Sergei Bobrovsky made saves for the win. Mason Marchment scored for the Sharks and Yaroslav Askarov made 29 saves in the loss.

The Leafs won the special teams contest as well as the game. This was not a surprise as Toronto has the top penalty kill in the League right now and a top power play. Aside from scoring two power play goals, they had five power play shots and three short-handed shots. The Sharks had just three power play shots. It was a disappointing shift from recent games for the Sharks. Sharks Captain Macklin Celebrini said: “We’ve had some amazing power plays this year where we’re getting a lot of chances and had really good chemistry. Just tonight was a little off.”

Mason Marchment gave the Sharks a lead at 13:54 of the first period with a backhand shot. That was the third time that Marchment scored the first goal of the game and those are his first three goals as a Shark. That has not happened since 1993.

Marchment gloved the puck down in front of the net, then moved to his left before sneaking the puck past a prone Bobrovsky. An assist went to Tyler Toffoli.

The shots in the first were even at nine each. Each team took two penalties, though the Sharks had almost a minute of five-on-three to kill.

The second period was scoreless until the final seconds. The Sharks had just taken a penalty for too many men on the ice when Auston Matthews scored with 12 seconds to go. His wrist shot came from just inside the faceoff circle. Assists went to Kirill Marchenko and Darren Raddysh.

The Sharks took two penalties in the second period and the Leafs had one. The shots were 13-10 Sharks.

Gavin McKenna gave the Leafs a 2-1 lead at 4:56 of the third period. The goal came on the power play, a wrist shot close in on the left side of the net. Assists went to Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

In the final minute, Nick Paul scored an empty net goal for Toronto. Matthews and Colton Sissons got assists on that one.

The shots were 12-9 Toronto. The teams were even in penalties called with two each, and two of those were matching minors.

The Sharks next play on Tuesday at 4:00 PM PT in Montreal against the Canadiens.
