The San Jose Sharks lost 2-1 in overtime to the Vancouver Canucks Monday. The loss is the tenth in a row for the Sharks, their longest of the season. Linus Karlsson and Jake DeBrusk scored for Vancouver. Nikita Tolopilo made 15 saves for the win. Macklin Celebrini took the lead in the rookie scoring race with his power play goal, despite having played many fewer games than his closest competition. Alexandar Georgiev made a heroic 35 saves in the loss.

After the game, Luca Cagnoni talked about earning an assist in a game after a late-night call up from the Barracuda: “It’s pretty special. It’s kind of funny how it works, you get two home-town guys playing and on the score sheet. It’s not what it’s all about but it’s a cool moment for sure.”

The story of the first period was Alexandar Georgiev, keeping the game scoreless despite a shot disparity of 12-3 for the Canucks. The Sharks had more time on the penalty kill with a double-minor against and one power play.

The first goal of the game came from Macklin Celebrini on a Sharks power play at 4:20 of the second period. Celebrini skated to the faceoff dot and beat Tolopilo with a wrist shot. Assists went to Tyler Toffoli and Luca Cagnoni.

The shots for the second period were even at seven. The Canucks took two minor penalties and the Sharks took one.

The Canucks tied the game at 9:02 of the third period. Linus Karlsson beat Celebrini to the Sharks net and put away a rebound off a shot from Teddy Blueger. An assist also went to Drew O’Connor.

The Canucks made a valiant push, outshooting the Sharks 10-5 in the third, but could not get that second goal. The Sharks took two penalties in the third and had no power plays.

That shot disparity continued into overtime, 8-1 Canucks. It took them 4:42 to score but they finally did, as a puck came off the end boards and landed perfectly for Jake DeBrusk to shoot it under Georgiev. Assists went to Brock Boeser and Quinn Hughes.

The Sharks will play their final game of the season in San Jose against the Oilers on Wednesday at 7:30 PM PT.

The San Jose Barracuda defeated the visiting Iowa Wild 5-0 on Saturday. Donavan Houle, Anthony Vincent, Colin White and Luca Cagnoni scored for the Barracuda. Yaroslav Askarovin made 25 saves for the shutout win. Jesper Wallstedt made 33 saves in the loss.

San Jose was short-handed one time in the first period and led Iowa in shots 15-10.

The Barracuda scored the first goal of the game at 11:44 of the second period. Anthony Vincent was knocked into Wallstedt early in the play. While the Wild expressed their anger at Vincent for falling into their goalie, Vincent took his time getting up and created quite a distraction in front of the net. Meanwhile, Donavan Houle found the puck and scored. Assists went to Ethan Frisch and Valtteri Pulli.

San Jose led in shots 15-7 in the second period. They were not short-handed in the second except for the first minute as their late first period penalty carried-over. They did have three power plays but did not score with the man advantage.

Anthony Vincent scored an insurance goal 4:10 into the third period. Donavan Houle won a battle along the boards to push the puck into the slot where Vincent caught it for the shot.

Houle got credit for his second of the game short-handed at 6:20. His shot was stopped but the Wild defense knocked the puck in the net while trying to move it back out.

Colin White made it 4-0 with another short-handed goal at 13:09. Collin Graf intercepted a drop pass near the Barracuda blue line and got the puck to White before skating into the Wild zone two-on-one with White.

Luca Cagnoni scored San Jose’s fifth goal of the night on the power play at 18:10. Cagnoni scored his first goal as a pro with a shot from just below the blue line and through traffic. Kasper Halttunen and Filip Bystedt got the assists.

The Barracuda will play again on Sunday at 3:00 PM PT in San Jose against the Wild.
