"Ryan Reaves opened the scoring for San Jose (18-17-3) with a tap-in of a loose puck at the 6:13 mark of the first period. John Klingberg doubled the lead with a shot from the center of the blue line at 7:55 after a screen from Igor Chernyshov limited the visibility of Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko. Vancouver (15-19-3) responded with a power-play goal by Linus Karlsson, who tapped in a cross-ice pass from Conor Garland for an easy score to make it 2-1 at 10:04."
"Igor Chernyshov doubled the deficit once more when he scored his first NHL goal five minutes into the third, depositing a power-play shot around Demko's left pad at the 4:47 mark. Drew O'Connor brought the Canucks closer one more time with a shorthanded score at the 10:43 mark of the third period. Macklin Celebrini added another goal for the Sharks at the 16:20 mark of the third with a stunning one-timer from the left circle."
"The Sharks stretched the lead back to two goals when William Eklund chipped a puck toward the net just outside the crease and it flipped over Demko's shoulders and into the back of the net. Vancouver's Marco Rossi may have made the final contact on the play, but the goal counted just the same. Rossi scored on another tipped goal very early in the third period, as the puck deflected up over Yaroslav Askarov in the midst of several chips near the crease."
San Jose recorded a 6-3 road victory over Vancouver, snapping a skid that dated to Dec. 16. Ryan Reaves opened scoring, John Klingberg added a long-range goal, and William Eklund's close-range chip extended the lead. Marco Rossi and Linus Karlsson both scored for Vancouver, including a power-play goal and a tipped third-period tally. Igor Chernyshov scored his first NHL goal on the power play early in the third, and Macklin Celebrini added a one-timer before Collin Graf sealed the game with an empty-netter. Thatcher Demko allowed six goals, marking his first loss in 14 games versus San Jose.
