Sharks Rally from Two Goals Down to Stun Canucks
30 Oct
Summary
- Will Smith scored two quick goals to tie the game.
- Mason Marchment netted the game-winner just 11 seconds later.
- Sharks overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period.
The San Jose Sharks staged a dramatic third-period comeback to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Thursday. Trailing by two goals heading into the final period, the Sharks found their spark thanks to Will Smith. Smith scored twice in quick succession, netting goals 2:39 apart to level the score with just over nine minutes remaining in regulation.
His second goal, assisted by Macklin Celebrini, seemed to energize the team. Moments later, Mason Marchment scored his fourth of the season, putting the Sharks ahead to stay. This crucial sequence turned the tide for San Jose, who had struggled offensively through the first two periods, going 0-for-4 on the power play.
Goaltender Yaroslav Askarov was solid, stopping 23 shots to secure the win. The Sharks are now 1-1-0 on their current homestand and look to continue their momentum against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
