After the game, he discussed the team’s failure to start on time, despite a good effort in the third period: “The League’s too unforgiving to not play a full 60. So we’ll take the lesson and move on and be ready to get our work boots on the second half.”

Of the upcoming break, Sherwood said: “Our team needs a break. Obviously it comes at a good time. I know that was my first game so obviously I wish we’d get more. We’ll light the fire during break and come ready to rage in the second half.”

In a scoreless first period, the Avalanche outshot the Sharks 14 to 5. Each team took two penalties. The second period was Artturi Lehkonen’s time to shine. He scored the first goal at 1:05, a deflected shot from Valeri Nichushkin. An assist also went to Cale Makar.

The San Jose Sharks fell 6-3 to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. Connor

Bedard, Connor Murphy, Ryan Donato, Sam Rinzel and Ilya Mikheyev scored for Chicago. Spencer Knight made 24 saves for the win. Will Smith, Macklin Celebrini and Shakir Mukhamadullin scored for San Jose. Yaroslav Askarov made six saves on ten shots and Alex Nedeljkovic made five saves in relief.

This was the most lopsided loss for the Sharks since January 11, when they lost 7-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. After the game, Sharks forward Macklin Celebrini said: “After that first period, I thought we did a really good job of staying on top of them. Just a couple mistakes, a couple of chances we give up and they just put it away. When it’s going like that it’s tough to … bounce back.”

Sharks defenseman Vincent Desharnais said: “Our D-zone is clearly not good enough. Our forecheck too, I think that’s one of our biggest strengths, when our forecheck is going I feel like all three zones are going well. And it’s been a couple games now that our forecheck is not going or it’s going ten minutes out of sixty. So you gotta play a full game.”

The first goal of the game came at the seven minute mark of the first. Connor Bedard scored with a snap shot on the power play. Assists went to Teuvo Teravainen and Tyler Bertuzzi. That was the only goal of the first period. The Sharks had only one shot on goal but the Blackhawks only had four. To the Sharks’ credit, they killed two of three penalties.

The Blackhawks doubled it up at 2:14 of the second period. Connor Murphy scored with a wrist shot from the top of the faceoff circle. Assists went to Matt Grzelcyk and Ryan Donato.

Donato scored his first of the night at 9:35 with a wrist shot. Assists went to Ilya Mikheyev and Jason Dickinson.

Sam Rinzel scored a minute later with a slap shot high in the slot. The assist went to Mikheyev.

The Sharks pulled Askarov after that goal and sent in Nedeljkovic.

Will Smith got the Sharks on the board at 12:05. His snap shot came from low in the faceoff circle. Assists went to Macklin Celebrini and Collin Graf.

Ilya Mikheyev scored less than a minute later, tipping a shot from Dickinson. Ryan Donato also got an assist.

Macklin Celebrini scored at 15:11 with a wrist shot from inside the faceoff circle. Tyler Toffoli got the assist.

The Sharks outshot the Blackhawks 12-9 in the second. There was a single penalty against each team in the middle frame.

Shakir Mukhamadullin scored with a backhand at 2:13 of the third period. Assists went to Philipp Kurashev and Vincent Desharnais.

Ryan Donato scored his second of the night at 14:41 of the third. Assists went to Mikheyev and Murphy. In all, Donato had four points on the night.

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.

#3 With William Eklund showing his knack for clutch goals and playmaking, what role might he play in generating early momentum for San Jose against Dallas?

#4 Alex Wennberg brings veteran leadership and reliable two-way play — how important will his faceoff performance and defensive zone coverage be in slowing down the Stars’ attack?

#5 On the blue line, Mario Ferraro’s physicality and ability to jump into the play could be key — how might his style impact the Sharks’ ability to limit Dallas shots from dangerous areas?

The game was the last between the teams for the regular season.

After the game, Macklin Celebrini talked about how the team is feeling:

“You have a feeling in our group, we’re confident in those situations when we’re down 3-2 or tied 2-2 going in late against a really relly good team, a playoff team, so I th8nk it’s a different kind of swagger and feeling in our group.”

After a scoreless first period, the teams were tied or close in almost all respects: shots were 8-6 Kings, the Sharks had one penalty and the Kings none, and the teams were even in faceoff wins.

On their first power play of the game, the Sharks took a 1-0 lead. Tyler Toffoli scored with a wrist shot at 4:10 of the second period. Assists went to Alexander Wennberg and Macklin Celebrini.

The Sharks held that lead for a bit but Alex Turcotte tied the game at 11:34. His wrist shot got through a scrum in front of the net on a second rebound after Askarov made two saves but came out too far. An assist went to Kevin Fiala.

The second period shots were 13-10 Sharks, the penalties were three for Los Angeles and two for San Jose.

Adam Gaudette gave the Sharks another lead by tipping a shot from Timothy Liljegren for a power play goal at 5:38 of the third. Assists went to Liljegren and Jeff Skinner.

Kevin Fiala tied the game back up with a wrist shot about a minute later. Assists went to Turcotte and Joel Edmundson.

Edmundsson was briefly credited with a goal at 12:09. After a review, the goal was called back as Edmundson had knocked the puck into the net with his glove.

The Kings did take the lead at 17:50 with a shot from the blue line tipped by Alex Laferriere. Assists went to Joel Edmunson and Cody Ceci.

Macklin Celebrini tied it up again with a dazzling skill show at 18:53.
