In a thrilling overtime match, the Vancouver Canucks triumphed over the San Jose Sharks with a final score of 2-1. The Canucks' Jake DeBrusk clinched the win by scoring just 17.6 seconds into overtime, while his teammate Linus Karlsson had previously tied the game after San Jose's Macklin Celebrini opened the scoring with a power-play goal. The Sharks continue to struggle, suffering their 10th consecutive loss while DeBrusk celebrated his 28th goal of the season in a dramatic finish. The game demonstrated the Canucks' resilience despite missing key players.
Celebrini, who grew up in North Vancouver and played his second professional game at Rogers Arena on Monday, now leads all NHL rookies in goals.
Vancouver had ample scoring chances in the first period, including a four-minute power play where they peppered Georgiev with seven shots.
With Victor Mancini in the box for interference, Celebrini unleashed a rocket from the faceoff dot, sending the puck pinging in off the crossbar.
Brock Boeser sent a shot over the San Jose net, and the puck bounced back to DeBrusk, who popped it in for his 28th goal.
