"The Sharks came out buzzing in the first period, throwing the body and setting the tone even though the scoreboard stayed empty. Quentin Musty got things going with a huge hit on Cole Reinhardt, and Kaedan Korczak was laying hits, breaking up plays and firing a handful of dangerous shots, including one with under a minute left that nearly broke through. Anthony Vincent was everywhere, winning draws, blocking shots, and even hammering Raphael Lavoie in the corner before getting a good look on net."
"Alex Nedeljkovic stayed solid in the net for San Jose, stopping everything with ease and keeping Vegas frustrated. The Sharks outworked the Golden Knights physically with guys like Zack Ostapchuk and Misa all laying big hits to keep the pressure on. While the first period ended scoreless, San Jose clearly owned the edge when in the energy battle. In the second period, the Sharks wasted no time getting on the board."
"John Klingberg ripped a power play wrister past Golden Knights goaltender Carl Lindbom. Tyler Toffoli set it up perfectly, and that one really felt like a statement goal. The Sharks' power play looked dangerous every second. The whole building woke up after that, and San Jose completely took control of the game. The Sharks kept pushing, forcing giveaways left and right, and it finally paid off when Jeff Skinner tipped home a beauty from Sam Dickinson and Will Smith to double the Sharks' lead."
