San Jose Sharks’ Danil Gushchin skates on the ice during warmups at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023. The San Jose Sharks finished the preseason the way they wanted to Saturday night, scoring three straight goals late in the third period to earn a 6-5 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.
Dorofeyev then completed the hat trick at the 8:46 mark of the third off a pass from former Shark Tomas Hertl, who finished with three assists. But it appears to be a numbers game right now for Gushchin, as the Sharks already have Macklin Celebrini, Tyler Toffoli, William Eklund, Mikael Granlund, Will Smith, Fabian Zetterlund, Luke Kunin, Alexander Wennberg, Ty Dellandrea and Kostin as top nine possibilities. That doesn’t include Barclay Goodrow, Nico Sturm, Givani Smith and Carl Gundstrom as other depth options.
In one sequence in the first period after the Sharks broke into the Golden Knights’ zone, Kostin took a pass from linemate Danil Gushchin and fired a shot past goalie Adin Hill at the 9:03 mark. The goal was Kostin’s third of the preseason, tops among all Sharks players, and he gave the much smaller Gushchin a big hug after the goal.
It doesn’t appear as if Kostin is in any danger of losing his spot on the team and being placed on waivers before the Sharks need to finalize their roster on Monday morning. Nevertheless, Kostin needs to become more consistent from one shift to the next, and one game to the next, if he wants to stay in the lineup.The Sharks and their fans might still be getting used to seeing Tomas Hertl in a Golden Knights uniform.
