Game review

After not much action in the first six minutes of the game, Connor Brown broke into the San Jose district and took the early Oilers lead through goalkeeper Georgi Romanov. However, just two minutes later, the Sharks found his fourth Jack Thompson stick of the season. The remaining 11:50 of the period was spent with trading opportunities and strict inspections on both teams, free of penalty hockey. It was 1-1 at halftime, and the shooting was 13-11 in favor of the sharks.

The second stage began with a goal in the Oilers Power Game in just three minutes, thanks to Viktor Arvidsson Slapset being offered from the top of the parking space. This led to him winning three consecutive victories. Then, after a few chances, Tyler Toffoli converts a sweet feed from Mario Ferraro and ties it up. But just as San Jose gained some momentum, Carl Grundstrom was caught with an expensive hook to solve the problem. Romanov and Oilers goalkeeper Calvin Pickard both made some amazing saves to keep the game close. It should also be noted that Leon Draisaitl exited the game with some discomfort in the middle frame. He was later excluded from the rest of the game. Eventually, during this period, Jeff Skinner floated home to Evan Bouchard in his 15th season of the season. A period full of action ended with a 3-2 advantage and shot 28-22.

In the last period, the Oilers clung to a goal lead. The Shark only recorded two shots in the middle of this period, shooting seven in total. San Jose pulled the goalkeeper away with a 2:45 run and sent them everything on Pickard and the Pickard and the Poilers, but they stood high to secure their third victory. The final score was 3-2 and the shooting percentage was 38-29.

Overall, there were some great performances in a rather quiet game. Evan Bouchard scored his second straight win in two assists, while Jeff Skinner registered for the game-winning goals and assists. Despite the loss, Romanov scored 35 saves for the Sharks and saved the game throughout the game.
