San Jose, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 on Sunday afternoon in a critical matchup at SAP Center.

Entering the day five points out of a Western Conference wild card spot and riding a five-game losing skid, San Jose delivered a needed response against an Edmonton team that came in 29-23-8 and third in the Pacific Division.

Shakir Mukhamadullin scored the go ahead goal in the third period, snapping a 4-4 tie and lifting the Sharks to their first win in six games.

San Jose opened the scoring in the first period after killing off an early penalty. Macklin Celebrini capitalized when Oilers goaltender Connor Ingram left the crease to retrieve his stick, shooting the puck into an open net for a 1-0 lead.

The Sharks extended the advantage on the power play midway through the period. Michael Misa scored from in front off a pass from Tyler Toffoli to make it 2-0.

Edmonton answered with a power-play goal of its own. Leon Draisaitl finished a feed from Connor McDavid to cut the deficit to 2-1. Barclay Goodrow restored San Jose’s two goal cushion later in the period, scoring on a rebound to give the Sharks a 3-1 lead after one.

Evan Bouchard brought the Oilers within one in the second period, finishing a setup from McDavid during sustained offensive pressure. Edmonton controlled much of the middle frame, but San Jose carried a 3-2 lead into the third behind steady play from goaltender Yaroslav Askarov.

The Oilers tied it early in the third when Trent Frederick converted a one timer from the slot 2:54 into the period.

San Jose responded less than three minutes later. Alexander Wennberg deked to his backhand and beat Ingram after taking a pass from Philipp Kurashev, putting the Sharks ahead 4-3.

Edmonton answered again when former Shark Jake Walman blasted a slap shot past Askarov to even the score at 4-4.

Mukhamadullin provided the decisive goal midway through the period, firing a shot from the point past Ingram off assists from William Eklund and Misa. This goal by Mukhamadullin comes following his goal saving block, the cherry on top to his effort this afternoon.

The Sharks held on over the final minutes, with Askarov preserving the one goal lead to secure the victory.

The win avenged an earlier overtime loss in Edmonton in which San Jose squandered a 3-0 lead and kept the Sharks within striking distance in the playoff race heading into another key matchup against Winnipeg.

Sharks Lose 4-3 in OT to Oilers, Give Up 3-0 Lead

The San Jose Sharks lost 4-3 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers. Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard and Zach Hyman scored for Edmonton. Connor Ingram made 17 saves for the win. Collin Graf, Adam Gaudette and Michael Misa scored for San Jose. Yaroslav Askarov made 28 saves in the loss.

After the game, Ryan Warsofsky talked about the matchup and what the team can learn from it: “We got some young guys in those situations against the firepower that they have over there. It’s a good learning moment. That’s what we’ll do, we’ll dust ourselves off and move forward.”

The Sharks scored all of their goals in the first period. The first came just 28 seconds in, a wrist shot from Collin Graf with assists to Will Smith and Macklin Celebrini.

The second goal came just over a minute later. William Eklund stole the puck in the neutral zone and passed it to a speeding Adam Gaudette. Gaudette carried it to the net and scored with a backhand.

The final Sharks goal came at 11:40 from Michael Misa. Misa carried the puck into the zone a high speed. Ingram stopped the shot and kicked it out but it hit Evan Bouchard and came right back in. Assists went to Tim Liljegren and Sam Dickinson.

The Oilers outshot the Sharks 12-8 in the first period. The only penalties called were matching minors so neither team had a power play. The second period was scoreless with two penalties called against Edmonton. The shots were 9-8 San Jose.

Leon Draisaitl got Edmonton on the board with a wrist shot at 1:34. Evan Bouchard sent the puck to the net and it went off of Dmitry Orlov. That helped it slip by Askrov and Draisailt chased it down and nudged it over the line. Assists went to Bouchard and Kasperi Kapanen.

Connor McDavid made it 3-2 with a snap shot from the faceoff dot at 16:55. Assists went to Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

With the Oilers net empty, Evan Bouchard tied it with a slap shot at 19:01. Assists went to Draisaitl and Mattias Ekholm.

The third period saw the Oilers outshoot the Sharks 10-3. The only penalty called went against the Sharks.

The Sharks started overtime with two defensemen on the ice, Mario Ferraro, Tim Liljegren and Alexander Wennberg. The Sharks never got a chance to make any changes to that. Tim Liljegren was cross-checked by Zach Hyman, which led to Liljegren falling and sliding into Askarov while Hyman received a pass from McDavid. Hyman took the game winning shot into an open net because Askarov was also out of position due to the uncalled interference.

The Sharks next play on Saturday at 1:00 PM PT in Calgary against the Flames.

NHL Finals podcast with Len Shapiro:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers had too many slow starts and not enough goaltending support from Stuart Skinner allowing three goals in the 5-1 loss.

#2 Tough way to go down losing their second consecutive NHL Stanley Cup Final. The Panthers repeat and were tough customers in game 3 winning 6-1, game 5 winning 5-2, and the Panthers winning it all in game 6.

#3 The Oilers got the heartbreaker losing in Game seven 2-1 last season after coming back from winning three straight games after being down 3-0. This season’s final the Panthers took the last three out of four games to repeat as champions.

#4 The star for game 6 was the Panthers Sam Reinhart who completed a hat trick with two empty net goals. Reinhart finished with four goals to pretty much cinch it for the Panthers.

#5 Talk about the Oilers offense or lack of they didn’t get any scoring support. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid were empty handed with no goals. The only goal the Oilers got was from Vasily Podkolzin in the third period avoiding a shutout.

NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast Len Shapiro:

#1 The Edmonton Oilers in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals saw Leon Draisaitl score a goal with a minute into the the game. The Oilers got a tying goal when Connor McDavid executed a perfect pass Draisaitl.

#2 Len, this game almost went into a second overtime but McDavid’s pass to Draisaitl got the winning goal. This combination has been key to the Oilers getting this far.

#3 Draisaitl was not able to score a goal in the finals last season but wants to make up for lost scoring. The Oilers also lost the first three games of the series to the Panthers and won the next three to tie up the series but couldn’t close out the 7th game for a loss.

#4 The two potential Hall of Famers McDavid and Draisaitl what this finals means to them if they can win this series. What they haven’t done is win the Stanley Cup and McDavid and . It would be the first franchise title in 35 years.

#5 Game 2 slated for Friday night in Edmonton. If the Oilers can come away with the win they will have 2-0 momentum going into game 3 in Florida. If the Panthers were to win game 2 it’s 1-1 going to Florida and that could shift momentum in Florida’s way.
