Smith put the puck between the legs of Nate Schmidt (88) and past a sprawling Brandon Tanev (13), before firing a shot along the ice past ex-San Jose Sharks goalie Vitek Vanecek. Defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin (85) had jumped up to provide a screen.<\/p>\n The Sharks didn\u2019t look back, totaling three unanswered goals in the middle frame, to race out to a 6-2 lead. Smith added another, and Adam Gaudette struck too.<\/p>\n THE SHARKS ARE A WAGON pic.twitter.com\/pwZjT44NhY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sharks on NBCS (@NBCSSharks) December 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Smith now has 12 goals on the season, roughly a 36-goal pace for the season.
