Don\u2019t want to take Smith\u2019s instincts away, but changing up attack expectations from time to time isn\u2019t bad, and speaks to the directness that San Jose Sharks could use. Start the game with a shot, maybe surprise Dostal.<\/p>\n<p>Carlsson goal: Dellandrea will get roasted (and got roasted by Carlsson), but how did he end up as the defenseman there? Kreider made a really nice behind-the-back stationary exit pass to Carlsson, but I don\u2019t think Leddy should\u2019ve bit on that. Pinching is good, but that wasn\u2019t the moment to do it. Anyway, Leddy committed, backchecking Misa ran into him, and Murder, Leo Wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson goal: Misa was just rocked by Sennecke in corner. But actually, made the play to Toffoli on the wall. Soft Toffoli clear doesn\u2019t get out though. No one, youngsters or vets, doing it for the San Jose Sharks right now. Moving screen in front of Askarov, tough to pick up, and Carlson picks a corner too. Disastrous start.<\/p>\n<p>9 in: Sharks outshot 7-0 so far. Not to go back to the Smith play earlier, on a better team, that\u2019s not a big deal, but on this team, that\u2019s still be San Jose Sharks\u2019 best opportunity to shoot so far tonight, I think. That was time and situation, start the game off with a perfectly good chance, maybe not a Grade-A, but good shooting area.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Barclay Goodrow, from 149 feet, registers <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SJSharks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#SJSharks<\/a> 1st shot of the game, 13:12 into first period.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about right for how they&#8217;ve played<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sheng_Peng\/status\/2042431249071944043?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>5 left: Celebrini line finally gets some shots off, all from distance, but it\u2019s a start.

Sennecke patience, outwaits Leddy starfish, and fortunate too, his pass bounces off Leddy, Askarov too, and Killorn scores a gimme. Gotta feel for Sam there, who\u2019s had a couple rough nights.<\/p>\n<p>10 in: San Jose Sharks look like they\u2019re just spent. Blame the schedule if you want. Most back-to-back\u2019s in NHL, right? But something a better team would grind through.<\/p>\n<p>7 left: Celebrini line fiddles the puck around but no shot.<\/p>\n<p>6 left: Carlsson just rips it from Sherwood at center ice, breakaway, big Askarov save.<\/p>\n<p>2 left: San Jose Sharks starting to attack downhill, think Wennberg set up Desharnais for probably their best chance of the game.

Desharnais knew Kreider behind him but couldn\u2019t stop the pass. I think Sharks selling out a little for some offense, which I get. Tough to give up two quick ones like Askarov did, but I think he\u2019s been pretty good, actually. Lots of big saves to keep the Sharks in sight of game.<\/p>\n<p>Graf penalty: Looked like Poehling took advantage of Graf\u2019s stick being under him, but that\u2019s just a smart play, in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson goal: Looks like that\u2019ll do it. Goodrow had a chance to clear, Carlsson came from side, forcing a forehand, couldn\u2019t get it through Carlson. Then Carlson lined up a blast that beat Askarov.<\/p>\n<p>Mukhamadullin goal: Shakir can fire it. Good patience and vision by Toffoli to wait on him.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson goal: The Ducks are in a different place than the Sharks, they felt they could trade a first for Carlson, who I\u2019m sure the Sharks could\u2019ve used, and I would imagine they eyed at the Deadline. But tonight was a reminder, boy, could\u2019ve used that guy. I think Grier made the right move holding on to his firsts, but boy, the defense has been exposed the last two games.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANAHEIM \u2014 The San Jose Sharks take on the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center.
