EDMONTON \u2014 The San Jose Sharks visit the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.<\/p>\n
Collin Graf and Adam Gaudette and Michael Misa scored, but the Sharks blew a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 in OT.<\/p>\n
Period 1<\/p>\n
Graf goal: Nice job by the top line to back each other up, Smith high turnover, Graf doesn\u2019t allow the Oilers to exit, forces it back, and Celebrini strongarms it to Smith, who holds until he can get Graf wide-open. Really, an impressive demonstration of each forward\u2019s brilliance.<\/p>\n
Gaudette goal: Beaut feed by Eklund into Gaudette speed. It was also Eklund who forced the turnover in the NZ, love to see that.<\/p>\n
3 goals in first 7:37 against the New York Rangers, 3 in the first 5:55 against the Vancouver Canucks, now 2 in the first 1:35.<\/p>\n
3 in: Celebrini defends McDavid like he gets defended, McDavid fronted in OZ, Celebrini shadows from the back, picks McDavid off.<\/p>\n
4 in: Podkolzin 3-on-2 chance, Oilers are going to have more pushback than New York and Vancouver. Good test.<\/p>\n
8 in: McDavid lulls San Jose Sharks to sleep, they\u2019re watching him so close, great high-to-low pass, but Ferraro prevents the hard cross-slot pass by Nugent-Hopkins to Hyman that would\u2019ve been a likely goal.<\/p>\n
Fun match-up, Draisaitl beats Celebrini circling behind net, then hard backhand before Celebrini can catch up. Elite hockey match-up.<\/p>\n
10 in: Artemi Panarin isn\u2019t stopping this. Sharks can\u2019t kill an Oilers\u2019 cycle, the last few minutes. It\u2019s what Edmonton has consistently done to San Jose for a long time.<\/p>\n
Misa goal: Incredible area stretch pass from Liljegren to Misa speed. First San Jose Sharks shot in a while.<\/p>\n
3 goals in first 7:37 against Rangers, 3 in the first 5:55 against the Canucks, 3 in first 11:40 against Oilers.<\/p>\n
4 left: Regenda with a physical shift, bowls over Frederic, then forces the puck out from Janmark.<\/p>\n
Knoblauch already putting together his McDavid-Draisaitl Voltron.<\/p>\n
Period 2<\/p>\n
San Jose Sharks have played a fairly clean second so far, obviously aided by a power play, but have quieted Oilers.<\/p>\n
Goodrow no-goal: Ostapchuk goes a little too hard into Ingram, not touched, so fair call by the refs for goalie interference. Nice play, regardless, Gaudette point shot, Ostapchuk crashes net, Goodrow there to clean up.<\/p>\n
10 in: Momentum management, Sharks could use more offensive pressure, I want Smith to shoot it there rolling down hill on attack, off Celebrini drop. The shooting lane was there for a snipe. He doesn\u2019t, extra pass intercepted, and Oilers counteratack, maybe an Askarov pokecheck on Lazar partial breakaway?<\/p>\n
9 left: Sharks come back with purpose though, Toffoli just misses a Grade-A in the slot, then Misa and company go to work on forecheck. Eklund has played with a fire under his ass tonight.<\/p>\n
8 left: Kapanen blocks Ferraro point shot high, has a brief break, but Liljegren recovers and erases it for his partner. He\u2019s been playing well.<\/p>\n
Ekholm penalty: Crowd doesn\u2019t like it, and I think they\u2019re right. Ekholm stick did get high, so maybe it was a natural reaction. Celebrini, uh, tried to decline the penalty? Mack just adding to his lore.<\/p>\n
Celebrini draws a high-stick anyway, after trying to stick up for Ekholm. Talk about a young kid who plays an honest game. #SJSharks<\/a> on the PP. pic.twitter.com\/7C3Gf7oV21<\/a><\/p>\n
