That was a phenomenal move in order to get around the goaltender and find the back of the net!
Yeah, that was a beauty for sure. Will Smith also hit the game winner in the 3rd period (getting a stick in behind the goalie to poke in his own rebound). Celebrini is alone for now at the top of the points leader board one ahead of Connor Bedard who had a 4pt day and the Sharks are 6-2-1 since starting the season winless in their first 6 games.

SOLID, SOLID, SOLID all-around performance by the Sharks tonight. Offense played well, defense was on point and, man, Askarov was BEASTLY between the pipes!!! Would like to see the Sharks keep their collective feet on the gas pedal after a fast start, and not give the other team a glimmer of hope throughout the duration of the game, but I am hopeful that will all come with experience.

We see you, 2025-2026 San Jose SHARKS!!!
After some early season struggles (to put it lightly) both Askarov and Nedeljkovic have looked the part of elite goaltenders for the past two weeks and that's made all the difference in turning things around. They're probably going to come back down to earth a bit (though it would be damned cool if they don't!) but even so, you can see that this team is on an upward trajectory.
Obviously I'm stoked to see Celebrini hanging out at the top of the points leader board already as a teenager but it's also cool that Bedard and Carlsson (the top 2 picks from the 2023 draft) are up there tied with him for 2nd place. Add in Will Smith (the 4th pick in that draft) also surging up to #34 and we've got a full on youth movement taking place.
In less exciting news, the Sharks are currently at the mid point of a game against the last place Calgary Flames and they have only 3 shots on goal. That's no bueno.
