Quick bites: Sharks lose third period lead to start season
"The Sharks spent the first minute in the Vegas zone. The next line followed with a few shots of its own, a couple of good shot attempts from William Eklund and Timothy Liliegren. And with 14:29 left, Jeff Skinner was the first Shark of the season to score. He drove one in with the help of Mukhamadullin and Ty Dellandrea. It was Skinner's first goal as a Shark, first of the season and 700th NHL point."
"But the Golden Knights didn't allow San Jose to pull ahead. At 11:51 left in the first, Brett Howden slid one past Nedeljkovic, his first of the season, tying the game 1-0. After that, the Sharks' energy died down. Mukhamadullin took two minutes for high-sticking, and Vegas was on its first power play of the game. It resulted in a Lilidergen breakaway, showing off his speed, but nothing was produced."
