Quick bites: Sharks weather Hurricanes' third period push, win 4-1
"Other than that tough start that began with two tough losses that could have been wins if the puck had bounced just a little differently, the Sharks have figured out how to haul themselves up after a loss or two and right the ship. That's just what the team did in Raleigh on Sunday when the Sharks beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 in regulation."
"It certainly helped matters that San Jose struck first. Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky promoted Collin Graf after two very strong games from the winger. Graf instantly produced when playing alongside Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Less than a minute into the game and Graf found the back of the net, giving the Sharks a nice cushion and the ability to play with the lead."
San Jose began the 2025-26 season by limiting extended losing streaks and quickly rebounding from an early two-game stretch of narrow losses. The Sharks defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 in Raleigh, earning a regulation win. San Jose matched Carolina’s pace early and sustained competitive play despite the Hurricanes holding a possession edge through two periods. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky promoted Collin Graf, who scored less than a minute into the game alongside Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Leading early furnished confidence that helped the Sharks absorb a Hurricanes power-play goal and produce both second-period goals. In the third period, it was all up to Alex Nedeljkovic.
