"Trailing a rush up the ice, Mukhamadullin took a pass from William Eklund inside the blue line and fired a wrist shot past Oilers goalie Connor Ingram for his fourth goal this year. Just go into the zone, and (Eklund) gave it to me, Mukhamadullin said. I'm just shooting to hit the net, and I scored."
"His goal is huge for us as a team and for him, also, Eklund said of Mukhamadullin's long-range shot. That was for his kid. So, it's nice."
"With Saturday's win, the Sharks, at least temporarily, moved to within three points of the Seattle Kraken for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference. That win won't get us into the playoffs, Celebrini said. But hopefully, if we keep stacking it and keep playing well, I think we've got a good shot."
The San Jose Sharks defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 on Saturday at SAP Center before a sold-out crowd of 17,435. Defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin scored the go-ahead goal at 9:27 of the third period, receiving a pass from William Eklund and firing a wrist shot past goalie Connor Ingram for his fourth goal of the season. The victory came at a significant personal moment for Mukhamadullin, who welcomed his first child earlier in the week. Additional goals came from Michael Misa, Macklin Celebrini, Alex Wennberg, and Barclay Goodrow. Goalie Yaroslav Askarov made 20 saves. The win improved the Sharks to 1-1-0 on their six-game homestand and moved them within three points of the Seattle Kraken for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.
