Ty Dellandrea and Tyler Toffoli both scored, and Mackenzie Blackwood had 36 saves, but the San Jose Sharks suffered a 3-2 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars, preventing Ryan Warsofsky from achieving his first NHL head coaching win.
The Sharks led late in the second period before Roope Hintz scored for the Stars, tying the game and forcing overtime. Blackwood's 12 saves in the third were crucial in keeping the Sharks competitive, but ultimately, the Stars won in the shootout.
In terms of special teams, the Sharks struggled on the power play, going 0-for-3, including a missed opportunity during a 5-on-3 advantage that saw them manage only one shot on net. Toffoli's candid assessment reflected frustrations: "I mean, our power play sucks. That's pretty straight-up there."
Current standings show the Sharks at 0-1-2 and struggling with execution in critical moments. Despite strong penalty killing efforts, they have been outperformed in power play scenarios, leading to close losses that reveal areas needing improvement.
