NEW YORK, NY. — The San Jose Sharks (1-4-2) captured their first victory of the season, 6-5 in overtime, against the New York Rangers (3-4-2) on a thrilling Thursday night at “The World’s Most Famous Arena”.

It was an especially special night at Madison Square Garden for Sharks center Macklin Celebrini, who got a hat trick.

“MSG, it’s a pretty cool rink, we only get to come here once a year and it was great to get the first one,” he said.

The Sharks entered the famed arena with great expectations and pressure to earn their first win, and it was a relief for the team to get the job done.

“Obviously it’s nice to get the result and that’s the biggest thing,” said Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky.

“Again we’re playing some pretty good hockey, you know, we were going toe-to-toe with one of the better teams in the league and cred to the group. You know, we just kept playing an d even the last week here with the losses, the guys show up with great attitudes, they’re coachable, they’re working hard to get better individually and collectively.”

Sharks right wing Adam Gaudette made a snap shot assisted by right wing Collin Graf and center Michael Misa at 1:58 into the first period, putting San Jose up 1-0. Then Celebrini made a power play goal at 6:17 assisted by left wing William Eklund and defenseman Dmitry Orlov to boost the lead to 2-0.

The Rangers fought back and right wing Taylor Raddysh made a wrist shot at 14:19 assisted by right wing Sam Carrick and defenseman Carson Soucy to cut the Sharks’ lead to 2-1.

But Celebrini struck again with nine seconds left in the period, making a wrist shot assisted by center Will Smith and Eklund to expand San Jose’s lead to 3-1.

In the second period, center Mika Zibanejad made a power play goal assisted by left wing Alexis Lafrenière and center J.T. Miller at 4:04 to put the Rangers within one. Center Juuso Parssinen made a wrist shot assisted by left wing Conor Sheary at 6:47 to tie the game at 3-3. Then Raddysh made an unassisted shorthanded goal at 12:10 to give the Rangers their first lead of the game.

The Sharks avoided a scoreless period as Celebrini made a wrist shot assisted by Smith and Orlov with six seconds left to tie it at 4-4, and earned his third goal of the game.

Celebrini said of the pass from Smith: “I mean, I think that’s what he does best, he’s a pretty special player and I think you’ve seen him before the kind of plays he’s able to make. I was just on the receiving end on a couple of those.”

In the third period, Smith made a wrist shot assisted by Eklund and Celebrini at 6:31 to allow the Sharks to retake a 5-4 lead.

Raddysh answered back with a slap shot assisted by Miller and defenseman Adam Fox at 11:50 to tie it at 5-5.

The game went into overtime – and crunch time for the Sharks. Smith made a slap shot assisted by Celebrini and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic at 1:38 to lead San Jose to their much-needed first win.

Smith said of the goal: “Yeah it was all back I think, made a great play there around the corner and stripped again and found the slot.”

He added that it “feels good”.

“It has been a tough six games where we could have had a couple of W’s,” he said, “But everything happens for a reason.”

The Sharks (1-4-2) continue their road trip against the New Jersey Devils who are on a six-game winning streak (6-1-0) at Prudential Center on Friday. The puck drops at 4 p.m. PT.

San Jose Sharks report: Sharks get ready for Rangers with morning skate at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers

NEW YORK, NY. — Following their 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders, the San Jose Sharks had a practice on Wednesday afternoon at Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers in New York City with select players and a couple of assistant coaches.

The Sharks (0-4-2) are still seeking their first win of the season, and aiming to notch it against the New York Rangers (3-4-1) at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

Among the players who went to the practice at the scenic rink overlooking the Hudson River was Michael Misa, the 18-year-old second-overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Misa said he has been working on puck protection, moving his feet quickly, trying to get around defenders, shooting and faceoffs.

“I feel like I have the speed to play, like I feel like I look comfortable out there, it’s just a matter of getting the puck on my stick and making plays… I’m feeling better each game,” he said.

“When I use my body in the corners, projected the puck and stuff, I think yeah I’ve been making some good plays and you know our line was plugged in for the most part in the last game so just going to try to build off of that.”

The players took in and appreciated the experience of practicing at Sky Rink.

“It’s actually a pretty cool rink, like the view behind it is pretty cool with some boats out there on the harbor. But yeah, it’s always cool if you can get that minor hockey rink kind of feeling again,” said Misa.

Defenseman Sam Dickinson echoed that sentiment.

“First time walking into a rink like this, I think when we pull off the bus, right away, we’re on the harbor and looking at boats on the water and it doesn’t really make sense for a rink to be there but you know it’s a pretty cool,” he said.

With the rest of Thursday off before back-to-back games against the Rangers and the New Jersey Devils, some of the players made plans to explore and enjoy the Big Apple.

It was the first time in New York City for both Dickinson and Misa.

“I think today would be a good day to kind of go to the city a little bit,” said Misa, who didn’t have any particular places or restaurants on his list.

“I’m just going to maybe grab a couple of the guys and figure it out.”

Dickinson said some spots he plans to hit are Times Square and the Empire State Building.

“This is my first time, so I guess today is my time for exploring,” he said.

The Sharks face the Rangers at 4 p.m. PT on Thursday at MSG.

Sharks can’t pull off win lose in close contest to Isles 4-3

New York Islanders Matthew Schaefer (48) scores against the San Jose Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov (30) in the second period at UBS Arena in Elmont Tue Oct 21, 2025 (AP News photo)

By Jessica Kwong

ELMONT, NY. — The San Jose Sharks (0-4-2) played their best game yet of the season but fell 4-3 to the New York Islanders (3-3-0) at UBS Arena on Tuesday night and remain at a zero-win record.

San Jose had a promising start, with right wing Collin Graf making a shorthanded goal assisted by center Ty Dellandrea 8:29 into the first period, putting them up 1-0. Graf stood at the blue line and executed on getting it off as quickly as possible.

But that good start was short-lived, as Islanders center Bo Horvat less than a minute later made a power play goal assisted by center Mathew Barzal and defenseman Matthew Schaefer to tie the game. Then center Casey Cizikas scored an unassisted goal at 10:30 to put the Islanders up 2-1.

Graf called it “like the worst thing ever, basically”, to fall to the Islanders.

“I mean, it sucks especially when you play, like I thought we played well especially in a good road game and to you know, play really well at the start of the period and still be down is sort of frustrating,” he said.

“But I think as a group we still battled through the second and third period and we just came up a little bit short.”

At 14:16 into the first period, Sharks right wing Adam Gaudette scored, assisted by center Michael Misa and Graf to tie the game at 2-2. Misa, the second-overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, said it was a “good play” for Graf to find him in the middle of the pass and that he saw Guadette coming down and hit it over.

“It sucks, you know, we’re still trying to find out first win, it’s frustrating,” said Misa.

“I think we play well overall, we tried to play back there in the end, but you know, we’re just going to keep pushing.”

The Islanders came out on top at the end of the period as left wing Emil Heineman made a power play goal assisted by left wing Anders Lee and right wing Max Shabanov at 19:30.

In the second period, Schaefer scored assisted by left wing Anthony Duclair and center Kyle Palmieri at 6:38 to put the Islanders up 4-2. That set off “Matthew Schaefer” chants for the 18-year-old No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Sharks center Macklin Celebrini scored at 10:16 into the third period, assisted by defensemen Dmitry Orlov and Mario Ferraro, cutting the Islanders’ lead to 4-3. But the Sharks offense faltered after that.

Despite the team’s 0-4-2 record, Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky had a positive outlook for the next game.

“Today was probably I think, our most complete game, even probably better than Vegas in a sense. We had some really good looks in the offensive zone. It’s going to start going in, it’s going to start turning. We’re going to stick together,” said Warsofsky.

“I told the group after, stick together, and just keep getting better and get a little bit better tomorrow and be ready to get our first win at MSG.”

The Sharks continue their four-game road trip facing the New York Rangers (3-4-1) at Madison Square Garden on Thursday. The puck drops at 4 p.m. PT.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast: Will Sharks add more Spanish TV games to smooth over videoboard debacle ? How badly are the Raiders off track with 31-0 loss?

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, You worked the Sharks Spanish telecast for Telemundo between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks on the scoreboard a message during the first period intermission that read  “SJ SHARKS FANS/LOVE ICE !!/GET ‘EM BOYZ !” The Sharks ended up apologizing and fans said that it was bad timing to have that message up there on the same day as Hispanic Heritage night?

#2 Amaury, do you think that message was something that was written and put into the production computer and the operator forgot to take it out or was there more underlying motives at work?

#3 The fact that this took place on Hispanic Heritage night at the rink during a local telecast that you were working how does the Sharks fix this beyond the public apology they put out? Would televising more games in Spanish or start broadcasting more games on radio in Spanish to reach the Hispanic community smooth things over? The Sharks do only one game in Spanish per year will they do more in light of what happen?

#4 Amaury turning to football, talk about Sunday’s game with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders were absolutely unable to execute on both sides of the football and just couldn’t get on the scoreboard by way of field goals or get in the red zone. The Chiefs just shut anything the Raiders wanted to execute down with a 31-0 loss.

#5 The World Series starts on Friday with the Los Angeles Dodgers once again having a shot at winning the whole thing. The Dodgers behind superstar Shohei Ohtani who threw for six innings, striking out ten and hitting three home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers is a once in a lifetime offer for anyone who had been watching that NLCS game 4.

Penguins Shut Out Sharks 3-0; Sharks…Still Waiting For Victory to Come

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Fernando Abarca

SAN JOSE, CA — After a painful loss in Utah, it was a vibrant Hispanic Heritage Night at SAP Center in San Jose — but not a celebratory one for the San Jose Sharks (0-3-2). San Jose hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins (4-2-0) in hopes of securing their first win of the season, yet they fell short once again, extending a difficult start to the campaign losing in a shutout 3-0.

Coming into the game, the Sharks sat near the bottom of the league standings, largely due to a troubling goal differential and ongoing defensive struggles. Key defensive pieces such as John Klingberg, Ryan Reaves, and Shakir Mukhamadullin were unavailable for the matchup, further complicating San Jose’s lineup decisions.

The organization also took the opportunity to honor the local community with Hispanic Heritage Night, celebrating the rich cultural presence of Latinos in San Jose and across the Bay Area.

First Period: Promise Without Results

San Jose opened the game with energy and offensive intent, showing flashes of chemistry and creativity against a Penguins team anchored by veteran experience. Both teams traded chances, but neither was able to break through, ending the first period scoreless. The Sharks looked more structured, generating quality rushes and forecheck pressure.

Second Period: Crosby Capitalizes

The momentum shifted in the second. Defensive lapses by San Jose allowed Sidney Crosby to find space and open the scoring, giving Pittsburgh a 1–0 lead. The Sharks struggled to respond, managing offensive zone time but lacking the finish to beat the Penguins’ goaltending. This has been a consistent theme — San Jose entered the night averaging among the fewest goals per game in the NHL.

Third Period: Penguins Seal It Late

In the final frame, Anthony Mantha doubled Pittsburgh’s lead, converting on another Sharks breakdown. With seconds remaining, Evgeni Malkin added the third goal, putting the game out of reach and sealing yet another defeat for San Jose.

Key Stats & Takeaways

  • Shots on Goal: Penguins 31 – Sharks 26 (approximate/game trend)
  • Power Play Struggles: Sharks remain without a power-play goal in multiple games.
  • Goal Differential: San Jose continues to carry one of the worst in the league (-15 or worse entering the game).
  • Bright Spot: Increased compete level and improved offensive zone entries compared to previous outings.

Despite the loss, the Sharks showed glimpses of competitiveness and depth, particularly among their younger forwards. However, significant work remains — especially on the defensive end — if they hope to end their winless stretch.

What’s Next?

The Sharks now head to the East Coast for a challenging back-to-back against the New York Islanders Tue Oct 21, New York Rangers Thu Oct 23, two disciplined teams with strong forechecking systems. A response will be needed if San Jose wants to avoid an early-season spiral. They will conclude the road trip against the New Jersey Devils on Fri Oct 24.

Sharks apologize for offensive message on scoreboard on Hispanic Heritage night: The Sharks issued an apology for a message that was shown on the video board regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the same night that they were celebrating Hispanic heritage night.

The message was displayed on the video board during the first intermission that read, “SJ SHARKS FANS/LOVE ICE !!/GET ‘EM BOYZ !”

The Sharks in a statement said “an offensively worded message which had been externally submitted was inadvertently displayed on the in-arena scoreboard.”

“Sharks Sports & Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which does not meet our organization’s values, was not detected during our standard review process,” The Sharks in the statement also added. “The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the origin of the message.”

Mammoth Win 6-3 As Schmaltz Slays Sharks With Hat Trick

SALT LAKE CITY–Nick Schmaltz recorded 3 goals and an assist and Liam O’Brien scored his first career Utah goal in a 6-3 victory over San Jose.

The Utah Mammoth (2-2-0) welcomed the San Jose Sharks (0-1-2) to Delta Center on Friday night for their first encounter of the season. All three games between the two teams last season were decided by a single goal, with San Jose winning their first matchup in Salt Lake City, overcoming a 4-1 deficit in the 3rd period and stealing the win in overtime, and Utah prevailing in the other two.

The Sharks put themselves in an early hole as tripping penalties a minute apart by Nick Leddy and Dmitry Orlov gave the Mammoth a 5-3 advantage. A half minute into the dual penalties, Utah forward Nick Schmaltz ripped a snap shot past San Jose netminder Yaroslav Askarov for his first goal of the season, assisted by Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller. At 13:31 of the first, Schmaltz made it 2-0 with another wicked shot, assisted again by Keller, which marks the fastest two goals in franchise history at 3:52 apart. It would be nearly 12 minutes into the game before the Sharks would record their first shot on goal. Karel Vejmelka turned away all 7 San Jose shots in the period, while Askarov stopped 10 of 12.

San Jose came out swinging in the second period with a burst of energy. At 4:33 Jack McBain was called for interference against Jeff Skinner, and on the ensuing power play Tyler Toffoli cut the Sharks deficit in half with his second goal of the season, assisted by Dmitry Orlov and Will Smith. Less than two minutes later, Jeff Skinner netted his third goal of the season, assisted by Macklin Celebrini and Vincent Desharnais, to tie things up 2-2. With just under four minutes remaining in the period, however, Mammoth forward Liam O’Brien scooped up a puck in front of the net and wrapped it past Askarov to reclaim Utah’s lead 3-2, with new acquisition Brandon Tanev recording his first point on the assist. For O’Brien, a feisty fan-favorite who missed the first four games of this season due to injury, it was his first career Utah goal having been kept out of the opposition net in 28 games during the team’s inaugural season.

Less than a minute into the third frame, Mammoth forward Nick Schmaltz put the puck past Askarov again for his second career hat trick, and the first of the season for the Utah Mammoth, to increase the lead to 4-2. Schmaltz noted after the game that his grandfather has seen him play twice in the NHL, and he scored a hat trick both times. The only other hat trick in Utah franchise history came last season by Barrett Hayton against the Los Angeles Kings on February 22, 2025. At 3:25 of the third, Mammoth forward Michael Carcone took advantage of an Alexander Wennberg giveaway to record his first goal of the season, assisted by Lawson Crouse, to put the Mammoth up 5-2. Utah wasn’t done, however. Just past the halfway mark of the period, Schmaltz returned the earlier favors, feeding captain Clayton Keller for his first goal of the season, with an additional assist by Barrett Hayton, to give the Mammoth a commanding 6-2 lead. At 16:51 of the third, with Dylan Guenther in the sin bin for cross-checking against Collin Graf, Macklin Celebrini scored his first goal of the season, assisted by Skinner and Wennberg, to bring the Sharks within three but there would be no 3rd period comeback this time as Utah claimed its third win of the season while San Jose falls to 0-2-2. Vejmelka finished the night turning away 18 of 21 shots for the win.

After the game in the visitor locker room, San Jose Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky addressed the third period meltdown. “We give up that one, Asky was the one behind out there, and then we just sat in our heels there a little bit in the third and that’s what good teams will do to you. … I thought there was good energy in the bench heading into the period. In the guys’ dressing room, we were saying the right things, but we have to start doing the right things.”

Sharks Defenseman Mario Ferraro echoed Warsofsky’s remarks. “We were back on our heels too early. We’ve got to start with the opposite and put them back on their heels. Obviously it’s a road game, but we’ve got to be even tighter in situations like that. I think just playing simple and getting pucks in and getting pucks out are really important. They put a lot of pressure on us, especially in the neutral zone. They came through the neutral zone with a lot of speed, so if we’re as tight as we can be next time in these road buildings to be tight and gapped up and not give them that time and space, maybe they’ll help us out a little bit. But for sure, our start wasn’t good enough tonight.”

It was no surprise that Nick Schmaltz and Liam O’Brien were selected to speak with the media in the winning locker room after the game. Talking about his hat trick, Schmaltz said, “Yeah, it was good. I feel like I’ve had a lot of chances early on in the season here and trying to shoot the puck more, take it to the net, be around the net more. A couple guys made some great plays by me in open areas, and it was fun to see a couple go in there. … It was awesome, especially in front of our home fans and shoutout to my grandpa, he’s been here. He’s watched me play two times now, in Arizona and here, and he’s seen a hat trick both times, so it’s pretty cool and special to have him here. Shout out to him.”

O’Brien talked about his emotions after scoring his first goal at Delta Center. “There’s a little sense of relief. Took longer than I wanted, but felt good, and I’m just happy we got the win too. … That second period was a little ugly for us. We didn’t like it, and we had a chat in between periods, and we fixed it. We came out and you see our top guys, turn it on like that, and you see how good those guys are. So, I thought we responded really well in that third period.”

Utah Mammoth Head Coach André Tourigny addressed his team’s performance in his opening statement. “I liked the first and the third, obviously, wasn’t in love with the second, but extremely proud of the way the boys reacted in the third. There was a lot of maturity, a lot of focus, and we played it right away. We put the puck behind, and we got a reward early, great play by Kells’ line, putting the puck deep and going on the forecheck. So that’s good” Commenting on Nick Schmaltz’s performance, Tourigny commented, “Honestly since the start of the season he’s been playing really good. You know, he had a lot of opportunities. He reloaded really well on both sides of the puck. He’s a trap. He’s inside a lot. Has a lot of opportunities inside. So it was a matter of time. I had a chat with him yesterday, saying, yeah, just do the right thing when you have those numbers and scoring chances, it’s because you’re doing the right thing, and it will come. Today was the day.” He was particularly pleased with the offensive effort of his squad. “I like the way we have generated offense lately, or the last two games I should say, you know, I have a ton of trust in our team. I know if we do the right thing and we go inside goals will come. I think what’s important is the win, six goals is always great. But more importantly, the way we responded in the third period and we left no doubt, that’s the way.”

Utah (3-2-0) will go for its third straight home victory to open the season on Sunday as they face off against the Boston Bruins (3-2-0).
