Sharks miscues, momentum-changing goal review prove costly in loss to Kraken
"The San Jose Sharks allowed goals 38 seconds apart in the second period after a pair of defensive miscues in what became a 4-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday at Climate Pledge Arena. With the game tied 1-1, a turnover by defenseman Nick Leddy in the Sharks' zone at the end of a long shift later turned into a goal by Kraken defenseman Adam Larsson at the 16:05 mark of the second."
"On the next shift, Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin made an ill-advised pinch inside the Kraken blue line, setting up a 2-on-1 the other way. In the Sharks' zone, center Chandler Stephenson passed it over winger Eeli Tolvanen for a one-timer that goalie Alex Nedeljkovic had no chance to save. The Sharks were unable to mount a response, and Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz added an empty net goal with 3:29 left to play, as San Jose closed out a three-game road trip with a 1-2-0 record."
"Will Smith came in alone on a breakaway and put a backhand-to-forehand move on Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer, who made a toe save. Smith's left skate, though, directed the puck forward and across the goal line. The play was ruled no goal on the ice, and in a potential turning point, officials determined, after a review, that Smith used his skate to propel the puck into the Seattle net."
San Jose fell 4-1 to the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena after two second-period goals 38 seconds apart resulted from defensive miscues. A turnover by defenseman Nick Leddy led to Adam Larsson's goal at 16:05 of the second period. On the ensuing shift, Shakir Mukhamadullin's pinch created a 2-on-1 that produced a one-timer by Eeli Tolvanen off a Chandler Stephenson pass. Alexander Wennberg scored a first-period power-play goal, but the Sharks went 1-for-6 on the man advantage. Will Smith's apparent goal was overturned after review for using his skate to propel the puck. Alex Nedeljkovic made 20 saves and Philipp Grubauer stopped 19 in relief.
