Sharks Blow Another 3rd Period Lead, Lose Dickinson’s Debut 7-6 to Ducks in OT
The San Jose Sharks hosted the Anaheim Ducks at SAP Center, marking Sam Dickinson’s NHL debut.
Tyler Toffoli, Ryan Reaves, Mario Ferraro, John Klingberg, Adam Gaudette, and Jeff Skinner scored for the Sharks, but they ultimately lost 7-6 in overtime.
In the first period, Mario Ferraro made a notable play, stepping up to prevent an exit pass and finding Eklund, who made a remarkable move, ankle-turning Zellweger.
That shift was poetry in motion, starting with Celebrini drawing a penalty trying to split the defense.
Tyler Toffoli scored a goal, thanks in part to Will Smith, who slowed down a Celebrini pass and placed it perfectly for Toffoli to skate into and score.
The Sharks’ loss marked a disappointing start to Dickinson’s NHL career.
