NHL: San Jose Sharks continue road trip Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning
Martin Fehervary #42 of the Washington Capitals skates past Carl Grundstrom #91 of the San Jose Sharks during the first period at Capital One Arena on Dec. 03, 2024 in Washington, DC. The San Jose Sharks needed three months — or 42 games — to get to their 10th win of the season last year.
With Capitals forward Tom Wilson serving a double-minor for high-sticking Macklin Celebrini and the Sharks enjoying a 4-on-3 man advantage, Eklund took a pass from Mikael Granlund and one-timed a shot past Capitals goalie Logan Thompson for his fifth goal of the season. Tyler Toffoli also scored, and Mackenzie Blackwood finished with 27 saves as the Sharks won their second straight game away from home to begin a six-game road trip that continues Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Sharks were allowed to take the lead after a solid first period from Blackwood, who had 16 saves in the opening 20 minutes. The Capitals came into Tuesday as the NHL’s highest-scoring team, with an average of 4.21 goals per game. They had also scored a league-leading 69 goals during 5-on-5 play this season.
