Canucks Edge Sharks in Shootout, Wild-Card Race Heats Up
Description
Vancouver Canucks secure a 4-3 shootout victory over San Jose Sharks, ending their four-game losing streak and dealing a blow to Sharks playoff hopes. Linus Karlssons goal in the sixth round of the shootout secures the win for Vancouver. The game remained close throughout, with both teams trading goals. Sharks Igor Chernyshov scored twice, but Teddy Blueger tied it up for Vancouver with three minutes left in the third period. Marco Rossi and Jake DeBrusk also scored for the Canucks, while Tyler Toffoli netted one for San Jose. Sharks fans feel the disappointment as their team, which finished last in the league the past two years, now sits just five points behind Los Angeles for the final wild-card spot in the West. Goalies Kevin Lankinen and Yaroslav Askarov put up strong performances, with Lankinen stopping twenty-eight shots and Askarov turning aside thirty-eight. The Western Conference wild-card race remains open as the regular season nears its end.
