In this episode, we dive into a week full of action and emotions for the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks kicked things off with a thrilling 5-4 overtime win against the Red Wings, where Celebrini scored an electrifying OT game-winner. Next, they faced a tough 2-5 loss to the Stars, a game that included two empty-netters, making the score seem worse than it was. In St. Louis, the Sharks fell just short in a 2-3 shootout loss, where Askarov made his Sharks debut and showed promise despite an early turnover. The week ended with a 2-4 loss to the Sabres during the unforgettable Joe Thornton jersey retirement ceremony. We also highlight standout performances, including Eklund’s impressive five-game point streak and Celebrini’s clutch heroics in overtime. Plus, we discuss Askarov’s debut and reflect on what’s next for Jumbo as he teams up with Team Canada for the Spengler Cup.
