"The Sharks were badly outplayed in the first period, but erased a 2-0 deficit on second-period goals by Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Skinner. But late in the second, Askarov went behind his net to play the puck after it had been sent into the Sharks' zone, couldn't control it, and a forechecking O'Brien was there to take control and score his first goal since April 17, 2014, the Arizona Coyotes' final game."
"Nick Schmaltz scored early in the third period to complete the hat trick, and Michael Carcone and Clayton Keller later tacked on more insurance goals to hand the Sharks their fourth straight loss to start the season. Macklin Celebrini scored his first goal of the season at the 16:51 mark of the third period to cut Utah's lead, but, naturally, didn't celebrate as San Jose remains the last winless team in the NHL."
"Toffoli's goal came on the Sharks' first power play, as Dmitry Orlov took a pass from Will Smith and fired a shot that Karel Vejmelka saved, but Toffoli was there to gather the rebound and score his second of the season from short range. Skinner's goal, his third of the season, came at the 7:13 mark. He sent a backhand pass to the front of the net intended for Macklin Celebrini, but it instead went off Mammoth defenseman Ian Cole and past goalie Vejmelka to the game."
San Jose lost 6-3 to the Utah Mammoth at Delta Center after a late-second-period turnover by goalie Yaroslav Askarov led to Liam O'Brien's go-ahead goal. The Sharks erased a 2-0 deficit with second-period goals by Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Skinner but could not sustain the comeback. Nick Schmaltz scored early in the third to complete a hat trick, while Michael Carcone and Clayton Keller added insurance goals. Macklin Celebrini scored his first goal of the season late in the third. Askarov finished with 28 saves and San Jose remains the last winless team in the NHL.
