San Jose Sharks, 20 minutes away from their first victory of the season, lose to Washington Capitals
WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 29: Luke Kunin #11 of the San Jose Sharks scores a goal against Darcy Kuemper #35 of the Washington Capitals during the first period of the game at Capital One Arena on October 29, 2023 in Washington, DC. But unless they expect their goalies to be perfect, it’s going to be hard to earn a win by scoring just once a game.
On a scramble beside the Sharks’ goal, Wilson chipped a puck over goalie Mackenzie Blackwood which went off defenseman Kyle Burroughs into the net with 4:45 left in regulation time for a 2-1 Capitals lead.Luke Kunin scored the Sharks’ only goal and Blackwood finished with 39 saves.On Washington’s tying goal at the 2:18 mark of the third period, Mike Hoffman tried to glove down a head-manning pass inside the Sharks’ blue line. But instead, it went off his hand and right to the Capitals.
The goal snapped a Sharks goalless drought of 163 minutes and 10 seconds, the third longest in team history. San Jose had been shut out in each of its last two games, in losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes, and hadn’t scored since the second period of their game on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.Granlund has dealt with a lower-body injury since the Sharks’ Oct. 12 season-opener.
