SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- Will Smith scored twice, including the tying goal
just 11 seconds before Mason Marchment's go-ahead goal, and the San Jose Sharks
rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Thursday
night.
Marchment had a goal and an assist, while Macklin Celebrini recorded his 16th
point of the season with an assist. Yaroslav Askarov made 23 saves for San Jose.
Smith scored his first goal at 8:00 of the third period on a power play to get
the Sharks on the board. San Jose had gone 0 for 4 on the power play before
Smith's goal.
Smith tied the game with his second goal at 10:39, with Celebrini recording the
assist. Marchment then gave the Sharks their first lead at 10:50.
Drew O'Connor and Liam Ohgren scored for Vancouver, while Elias Pettersson and
Filip Hronek had an assist. Leevi Merilainen stopped 21 shots for the Canucks.
O'Connor opened the scoring at 13:21 of the first period for his second goal of
the season, scoring on a rebound with an assist from Pettersson. San Jose
defenseman Dmitry Orlov tried to clear the puck but was stripped, leading to
the goal.
Ohgren extended Vancouver's lead to 2-0 at 18:56 of the second period with his
fourth goal of the season.
The Canucks have lost 11 of their last 12 games, having snapped a 10-game
losing streak with their previous win. Sharks fans booed as Vancouver took its
two-goal lead into the second intermission.
Up next Canucks: Host Toronto on Saturday night. Sharks: Host Ottawa on Saturday afternoon. ___ See AP's full NHL coverage here |
