SAN JOSE, Calif. – Tuesday night the NHL’s Frozen Frenzy ended with the San Jose Sharks losing to the Boston Bruins 6-3 in a rare 8:00pm start time at SAP Center. The Bruins finished Tuesday’s contest improving to 5-2-0 while the Sharks drop to (3-3-0) and had to put off a win in regulation for another time.

The Bruins started hot 12 minutes and 55 seconds into the game when Fraser Minten scored his third goal of the season to put Boston ahead.

The Sharks had two milestones in Tuesday’s 6-3 loss, one was Jacob Trouba’s first goal as a member of the Sharks which tied the game at one. The other was Ivar Stenberg scoring his first NHL goal. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft was set up by Macklin Celebrini and Dmitry Orlov to tie the game at two early in the second period.

Trailing 4-2 heading into the third after goals by Matthew Poitras and Pavel Zacha, San Jose tallied another on the powerplay off the stick of Macklin Celebrini. It was Celebrini’s second goal of the season, assisted by Stenberg and Smith.

That would be the last time the Sharks put the puck in the back of the net as the Bruins went on to score two more including Fraser Minten’s second goal of the night en route to a 6-3 win.

San Jose out-shot the Bruins 38-26 and despite having numerous scoring opportunities wound up on the wrong end of a great performance in net by Jeremy Swayman.

Darnell Nurse did not return to the game after engaging in a fight with Nikita Zadorov and head coach Ryan Warsofsky declined to comment on Nurse’s status postgame.

The Sharks head to Nashville to face the Predators, who took a 5-2 loss against the Vegas Golden Knights Tuesday night. Puck drop at Bridgestone Arena at 5:00pm Pacific Thursday night. It’s the first of a six game roadtrip, tied for the longest of the season.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Edmonton Oilers defeated the San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Saturday, overcoming Macklin Celebrini’s third-period goal to earn their fourth straight win at SAP Center. At the same time, the Men in Teal recorded their second loss of the season.

Vasily Podkolzin, Mattias Ekholm and Alex Formenton scored for Edmonton, while Connor McDavid recorded an assist. Goaltender Tristan Jarry made 19 saves as the Oilers improved to 4-0-1.

Celebrini scored in his return to the lineup after missing two games with a lower-body injury. The Sharks captain finished with his first goal of the season, but San Jose was unable to complete a comeback against Edmonton in the final 10 minutes of the third.

Edmonton stuck first after so many attempts; the fourth line made it work. Oilers forward Issac Forward protected the puck along the boards in the Sharks’ zone; the Sharks ‘ D-line made a poor play in defending, leaving Oilers defenseman Mattias Eklund to make a powerful slap shot wide open to put the Oilers up by one goal.

Edmonton extended its lead early in the third period. McDavid in full speed carried the puck down the left wing before finding Podkolzin near the top of the slot. Podkolzin finished with a one-timer at 3:13 to make it 2-0.

Two minutes later, Oilers Forward, Alex Formenton added another goal, taking a pass from Mathieu Joseph on a rush before beating Askarov with a backhand shot over the goaltender’s left pad.

San Jose responded at 11:19 when Celebrini received a pass from Michael Misa near the left faceoff circle and scored with a wrist shot to cut the deficit to 3-1.

The goal provided a bright spot for the Sharks, who were unable to find another breakthrough in the final minutes.

Askarov concluded with 17 saves for San Jose, which fell to 3-2-0. Edmonton extended its season-opening point streak to five games, while McDavid and Podkolzin each continued their individual point streaks to start the season.

The Oilers secured the victory with three goals of their own, while Celebrini’s return offered San Jose a positive takeaway despite the loss and good ovation at the Tank.

Sharks are back at home this tuesday night against the Boston Bruins at 8pm local time.

The San Jose Sharks defeated the St. Louis Blues Thursday, 3-2 in overtime. Tyler Toffoli, Collin Graf and Darnell Nurse scored for the Sharks. Nurse’s overtime winner was also his first goal as a Shark. Alex Nedeljkovic made 24 saves for the win.

Connor McMichael and Dillon Dube scored for the Blues. Joel Hofer made 24 saves in the loss. This was the second game in a row that the Sharks played without their captain Macklin Celebrini. He again skated with the team before the game but was not deemed ready to play.

Connor McMichael scored the lone first period goal at 3:52, giving the Blues a 1-0 lead. McMichael carried the puck into the zone before passing it back to Mason McTavish. McTavish sent the puck back to the net, where McMichael tipped it in. Assists went to McTavish and Jonatan Berggren.

At the end of the first, the shots were 11-3 St. Louis. Each team took one penalty. The Sharks had one shot on their power play and the Blues had none.

Tyler Toffoli scored the only second period goal, tying the game at 8:48. From the right side of the net, Toffoli shot his own rebound into the net. Assists went to Michael Misa and Jacob Trouba.

The middle frame was littered with penalties, with three to the Blues and one to the Sharks. The Sharks only managed two shots over those three power plays. The Blues took two shots in their one power play and three short-handed shots. The second period shot count was 12-12. The goaltenders were busy.

The Sharks started the third period with almost two minutes of power play time. Instead of taking the lead, they gave up a short-handed goal to Dillon Dube at 1:39.

It took the Sharks a few minutes to recover from that. Collin Graf tied the game at 6:05 with a snap shot from the slot, off a pass from Sam Dickinson. An assist also went to Tyler Toffoli.

The third period shots reflected a strong push from the Sharks, 11-3 San Jose.

Jake Oettinger made 13 saves for the shutout win. Yaroslav Askarov made 21 saves in the loss. Macklin Celebrini was a late scratch due to a lower body injury.

Sharks defenseman Darnell Nurse talked about the challenge of playing without a key player:

“It’s by committee. Everyone’s got to step up and pick up a little bit of slack. When you lose one of your top players. So there’s going to be moments over the course of the season if you want to be a good team, you’ve got to be able to weather those storms.”

Ty Dellandrea, who drew into the lineup when Celebrini was scratched, talked about the loss: “They’re a good team coming off of two losses. They were desperate for a win, so they wanted it more, they were desperate, smothering us, making it hard for us to get to our game plan.”

Miro Heiskanen, scored the lone goal in the first period, giving the Stars the lead. Heiskanen caught a pass off the back boards and used a backhand to score on the right side of Askarov. Assists went to Roope Hintz and Jamie Benn at 18:51.

Dallas outshot the Sharks 11-2 in the first. The Sharks took the only penalty in the period and gave up two shots.

Joel Kiviranta made it 2-0 at 3:17 of the second. His shot was the third try as Dallas skater swarmed the Sharks net. Oskar Bäck and Radek Faksa got the assists.

Jamie Benn made it 3-0 at 6:19. The Stars made two quick passes close to the net and Benn snapped it in. Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz got the assists.

Jason Robertson added another for Dallas at 16:30. Robertson intercepted a pass just below the Sharks blue line, skated in and shot from the slot.

The shots were 9-5 Dallas in the second. Each team took one penalty and each penalty kill gave up two shots.

Mikko Rantanen scored the fifth goal for Dallas at 15:22 of the thrd period. Rantanen carried the puck in and evaded two Sharks defenders on his way to the net for a wrist shot. Sam Steel got the assist.

The shots were even at six in the third period. Each team again had one penalty to kill.

The Sharks next play on Thursday at 5:00 PM PT in St. Louis against the Blues.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks rallied past the Los Angeles Kings 5-4 on Saturday at SAP Center, overcoming a late third-period comeback before Igor Chernyshov scored the game-winning goal, with an assist from Macklin Celebrini, to secure a dramatic divisional victory.

The Sharks hosted the Kings in the first of four divisional matchups this season, looking to build on their momentum and withstand the pressure of a Los Angeles team that pushed them to the limit.

The opening period featured a relatively even exchange of chances, but San Jose struggled to establish a consistent forecheck and generate sustained offensive pressure. Los Angeles capitalized on the Sharks’ defensive lapses to open the scoring.

Veteran forward Adrian Kempe gave the Kings a 1-0 lead on the power play, finishing a one-timer off a pass from Artemi Panarin along the wing. Los Angeles carried that advantage into the first intermission.

San Jose responded with a stronger second period, displaying improved chemistry, puck movement and offensive execution while tightening up defensively.

The Sharks tied the game when Macklin Celebrini delivered a pass from the left wing to Ivar Stenberg, whose shot created a rebound that Tyler Toffoli buried past the goaltender to make it 1-1.

San Jose continued to apply pressure in the offensive zone, and Kiefer Sherwood gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead after recovering a loose puck in front of the net and finishing the opportunity.

The Sharks extended their advantage with a well-executed tic-tac-toe passing sequence. Nolan Allan finished the play with a tap-in goal, assisted by Michael Misa and Igor Chernyshov, putting San Jose ahead 3-1.

Los Angeles answered on the power play as Quinton Byfield generated an impressive offensive sequence, keeping the Sharks under pressure in their own zone before finding the back of the net. Byfield’s goal cut the deficit to 3-2 heading into the second intermission.

San Jose entered the third period looking to protect its lead and maintain its offensive momentum. Chernyshov, who had already recorded an assist, delivered another scoring play after the Sharks moved the puck out of their defensive zone and into the neutral zone.

Chernyshov found himself on a two-on-one rush and capitalized on the odd-man opportunity, beating the goaltender to extend San Jose’s lead to 4-2.

However, the Kings refused to back down, taking control of the offensive momentum and mounting a late comeback. Erik Jaula brought Los Angeles within one before Panarin continued to make an immediate impact with his new team, scoring the equalizer to tie the game at 4-4 in the closing minutes.

Los Angeles generated several dangerous scoring chances as it pushed for the go-ahead goal, but Sharks goaltender Yaroslav delivered a series of clutch saves to keep San Jose in contention.

As the game appeared headed toward overtime, the Sharks once again delivered late-game drama. Chernyshov scored the decisive goal off an assist from Celebrini, securing a 5-4 victory and sending the SAP Center crowd into celebration.

The win moved San Jose to a 2-0 record in the standings, as the Sharks continued to demonstrate their resilience in a tightly contested Pacific Division matchup.

From My Notebook Sharks and Celebrini Make History

By Amaury Pi-González

Macklin Celebrini, the 20-year-old center for the San José Sharks, is the youngest captain in team history and the youngest in the NHL. On July 29, 2026, Macklin Celebrini also signed the largest-ever contract in San José Sharks history: a five-year extension for $94 million, averaging $18.8 million per season. A contract that runs from the 2027-28 season to the 2031-32 season.

“I think five was just the right number. Just all different factors with where our team is going and having that flexibility. We’re all really excited with where we’re going and what we’re building. So just kind of keeping a little bit more flexibility for everyone. It’s not really a bad thing,” said the young captain of Los Tiburones de San José after signing the historic contract.

The Celebrini era has just begun, and San José Sharks fans are as excited as ever in their 35-year history. As Sports Anchor for Telemundo CH 48 San José, I covered their first-ever game; I could not forget it since it happened on October 4, 1991, my birthday, as they lost to the Vancouver Canucks 4-3.
The game took place in Cow Palace, Daly City, just blocks south of San Francisco, their temporary home for their first two seasons, 1991-93, while the San José Arena (today SAP Center) was being built. I often visited with cameraman Ignacio Navarrete at the site where the SAP was being built; we also interviewed businesses around downtown about the economic impact of an NHL franchise in the most populated city in the Bay Area, San José.

In 2016, Los Tiburones made it to the Stanley Cup, losing 4 games to 2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins and the great Sidney Crosby. San José was dressed in Teal for the occasion, a memorable one, and the first Stanley Cup I ever covered.

Today, 10 years later, the team seems poised and ready to run and go far in the postseason, perhaps back in the Stanley Cup; yes, they have that potential.

Los Tiburones On Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 1:00 PM, against the Ottawa Senators, the Sharks will celebrate their tenth annual Los Tiburones Night, honoring Hispanic Heritage in San José, home to over 30% Hispanics in the Bay Area with over 2 million Hispanics.

As a Latino, I am proud of this team’s commitment to the Hispanic community, and I am looking forward to being part of another Los Tiburones Night with this young franchise. The flavor of Fiesta, Food, Music, and Spanish broadcasting on the air!

Get used to these names; they will bring the excitement for Sharks fans during this season and years to come: Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, Luca Cagnoni, Yaroslav Askarov, Toffoli. Goodrow, Graf. – Arriba Tiburones!

Sharks players celebrate win over Florida at SAP Center in San Jose on Oct 1, 2026 (Sharks Media)

SAN JOSE, Calif. — In a season opener years in the making, Luca Cagnoni sealed a 4-3 overtime win for the San Jose Sharks, giving the team a strong start in a game where San Jose responded to every challenge on the ice.

The Sharks delivered one of their most memorable season-opening performances in recent years, marking a big night for several players and offering another glimpse of a rebuilding project beginning to take shape as the franchise continues to establish a new identity.

From the early hours, the team received a warm welcome from fans, who had the opportunity to see some of San Jose’s biggest stars, including Will Smith, Michael Misa and Macklin Celebrini, as well as promising young talent such as Ivar Stenberg, who represents part of the franchise’s future.

The night began with an energetic player introduction before the opening puck drop. The game also featured notable debuts and goals, including Mason Marchment, who scored the Sharks’ first goal of the night.

Smith was one of the standout performers, recording two goals and an assist, while Celebrini contributed three assists in the season opener and his first game as the Sharks’ captain.

San Jose extended its lead in the second period. Celebrini forced a turnover in Florida’s defensive zone and led a two-on-one rush alongside Smith. Celebrini drew the defender before setting up Smith, who finished with a shot over the goaltender to give the Sharks a 2-0 lead while shorthanded.

Smith scored again midway through the game on the power play. The forward capitalized on a rebound from Celebrini’s attempt near the net to extend San Jose’s advantage to 3-0.

However, the Panthers responded before the end of the second period. Eetu Luostarinen collected a rebound off Aaron Ekblad’s shot and sent the puck into the net at 17:10, cutting Florida’s deficit to 3-1.

Florida increased its offensive pressure in the third period and managed to tie the game with two goals in a span of just 17 seconds. Luostarinen scored his second goal of the night by deflecting a shot from Dmitry Kulikov at 5:01, while Matthew Tkachuk tied the game 3-3 with a shot that beat San Jose goaltender Yaroslav Askarov.

Despite Florida’s comeback, the Sharks found an opportunity to settle the game in overtime. Smith connected with Cagnoni, who scored the game-winning goal to secure the victory in San Jose’s first game of the season.

With the victory, San Jose opened the season with a win over the back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, while Florida suffered its first loss of the campaign, falling to 1-0-1.

The Sharks will look to build on the momentum in their next game after an opener that featured a three-goal lead, a comeback by their opponents, and an overtime finish.

San Jose returns to action Saturday, Oct. 3, against its Pacific Division rivals, the Los Angeles Kings.
