"It was a special night in San Jose as the Sharks organization honored former star and captain Joe Thornton for his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. A ceremony was held for the beloved veteran, and a tribute was displayed on the bigger-than-life jumbotron as his family watched his special accomplishments alongside him. Thornton originally retired in October 2023; however, he was celebrated tonight for his recent induction."
"The Kings tried to bite back and tie the game as they appeared agitated and frustrated. It wasn't until late in the period, at the 3:56 mark, that Joel Armia scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game 1-1. Luck did not last long for Los Angeles as the Sharks struck back with 10 seconds left on the clock. Ty Dellandrea sent a deflected shot past Forsberg as both teams headed into intermission, with San Jose up by one."

The second period began with aggressive play from both teams.
