Canucks’ Dramatic Shootout Victory Crushes Sharks’ Playoff Dreams—What’s Next for Both Teams?
Igor Chernyshov scored his second goal of the game to give the Sharks a 3-2 lead with 7:16 left in regulation but Teddy Blueger tied it on the power play with 3:00 left.
Marco Rossi and Jake DeBrusk also scored for the Canucks. Kevin Lankinen made 28 saves.
Macklin Celebrini assisted on both of Chernyshov’s goals to give him 110 points on the season, four shy of the franchise record set by Hall of Famer Joe Thornton in 2006-07.
Tyler Toffoli also scored for San Jose and Askarov made 38 saves.
The Sharks opened the scoring late in the first when Celebrini won an offensive draw and got the puck to Chernyshov, who went right to the net and beat Lankinen.
