Will Smith’s April Fools’ Day efforts backfired.

On Apr. 1, according to San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky, Smith kept trying to prank his teammates.

As repayment, that night, after the San Jose Sharks’ 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Adam Gaudette pretended to give the team’s player of the game award, the shark tooth necklace, to Smith, but then…

Alex Wennberg ended up with the necklace.
