Kraken vs. Sharks | NHL Highlights | December 20, 2025

in the NHL this year. Let’s see if they can 
rebound after a tough loss the other night. Igor Chernishov wait shoots and it’s saved by Joey 
Dor going to use the Bors. That’s a lost art these days. He’s it’s the six man on the ice for you. 
Use the boards properly. Turnoff chase skating off. Jamie Alexiaak will play it ahead to Gdro 
and now it’s turned over to Wenberg again. He’s got it in the attacking zone. Wenberg looks tied 
to Japolei. Shot stopped by the court champ as the Sharks with Alex Wenberg hanging out of the 
puck. Japolei going to the net. Stick on puck. Good save by the court. William Ecklan looking 
tool waits makes a play to his left for Ecklan. Back to Tyler Tapoi drags it in. Backhand shot. 
He rolled toward the post. Tapoli ends up in the net. And then Tyler hangs on to it. Nice little 
toe drag. goes to the backhand then forehand does his job gets over there and supports the D. Now 
the stretch pass up to center and then Lindwin falls and there’s a break away for an save by the 
core get a bit of a break as he got a DM fall but great recovery that was big Jamie Alexiaak he gets 
Evans stops at the goal line flicks it back to for right chain right into the middle for Gdro he got 
a stick on it but it went into the corner Evans back toward right behind the And now Wright slots 
it back for Riker Evans once more. Josh Bhurov that’ll bounce off a couple of feet. Aarov trying 
to locate it. A monster as far as height goes and had that reach and Yaoslam Ascarov. This is what 
we’ve seen. That’s a really good save off the stick of Iorio and all the way down to the Seattle 
net minder to court. He quickly sends it up. Sharks on a change. Let’s see if they can adjust. 
Catro shot to the net. Rebound chance as got it. He missed the net. Churnish shot for Celinrini. 
Me necklin gives it to graph. Graph takes a look. Churnishaw in shoots and cord makes the save 
back to the net. It comes from celebrating San Jose with four. Here’s Chernaw gets the rebound 
and Dord fights it off as Gra will toss it back now to Celbrini. Mliff Orlo shoots. That one’s 
blocked in front of the net by Josh Mahur. They’re starting to get some passes and really 
skating off the puck well and attacking. Freddy Grow a backhander trying to sneak it through, but 
Asterov shuts the door. Solid backhand and then he follows up the rebound. What you’d like to see 
from the Sharks here is once that shot’s taken, you collapse on control so he can’t get to 
that puck. Good job by Clingberg. Now into the corner. Or takes a look. Everlying down 
and this is right out front. There’s the save of the game so far for Ascarov. Gives it to NA 
off his stick. He’ll wave it to the net and it just missed. Here’s Iorio and Everly will take it 
from him and clear the zone. Great action here in the second period of what so far is a scoreless 
game. Here’s Ellie Tolman and he scores. It looked like Tolman had lost his edge, but he recovered 
in time. Snaps it home. One- nothing Seattle. The Sharks have the puck. They’re battling for the 
puck, I should say, and then Tolman just turns, fires. That’s one that the Arsad is not going to 
like very much. Sharks have it. Good checking by the Seattle Kraken. The puck just squeaks loose 
and then it goes seven hole between the arm and over the pad. Not going to like that at all. 
line. 2114 the shots back down to the blue line. Lindred gave it away. Here is Colin Graph. 
Graph turns, looks for Ferraro. He’s open. Mario into the attacking zone. Gives it on the way. 
Grab in. Grab. Shot. Save by up in the play. Gives it back to five. Has two minutes. Drives 
in. There’s the slash up on the hands and Joey Decord makes against the last rated penalty 
kill that hasn’t looked like that tonight. At least yet. Clinberg shot. Save. rebound and 
Dort gets to it before Wberg but then it’s loose but he gets the glove Joey Dort does 
back down on right there looked like skates past Stevenson drops it back to Clint now Ecklund 
setting up shop on the left wing here’s Ecklund has a look shoots blocked rebound Celbrini 
stands in against wins the draw now Skinner and Celbrini from the left side Now he’ll look 
shoot into traffic. Pinballs around. They score. Adam got it. Pokes it home and we’re tied. Look at Turner Shaw. Turner Shaw’s in front 
right. The referees were talking. I was just wondering what they were talking about. 
But there’s the shot. It’s a simple shot, but because Chernop is there, Dort has 
trouble finding the second the rebound, the deflection where it goes to the side. There 
you go. There you guys get getting the guy’s eyes and Glad slides over. So you’ve got two different 
levels at the net. Scoring on their third power play of the game. Uh-oh. Don’t Dickinson gave 
it away. Here’s a chance now for Shane Ryan and Ascarov. The save trying to find it to little 
trouble for Sam Dickson bringing the puck up. A little indecisive and he’s going to lose it 
and it’s going to come right back. But nice job by Iorio to get a stick into that shooting 
lane. And then here’s Yanni Newman. He’ll dance on the blue line. Bring it on the wide 
side out front and Winter denied by Ascarov. Now Joshua Mahura the indirect off the boards. 
wanted Stevenson. Ferraro got a stick in the way. Here’s Wenberg. Back across and denied. 
Terrific job along the boards by Gdette. The support by Wenberg. Throws it across. The shot 
to Court coming across. That’s a tough save as he clears the puck ahead. Shloof just about lost 
it to Everly. That would have been a disaster, but he recovered. Now Dunn turns it over. 
Church ground off the pel and they score on the very first shift to the third period. The 
Sharks take the lead. You just told us got to get people to the net. Now Sharks get in. What do they 
say also? Got to get your forch check going. And the Sharks. Yeah. Okay. going to get a little 
fortunate there as Joey Decord tries to as much as he can squeeze the pads. It goes off the post 
and then Dord and Adam Larson end up putting it in their own net but Colin Graph is there. It pushes 
it goes in and for Colin Graph Newman with a shot and that deflects wide with it. That’s kept in 
with his glove by Riker Evans and he scores. Paros Ascarov screened by defenseman Shakir McDulan. 
Couldn’t see that puck coming in and Riker Evans with a prayer from the blue line ties it back 
up. Can’t make a play right there on the boards and not get that puck out in that area. And then 
it just comes back and Yao Slap doesn’t see it. It’s just a a wrister. I don’t think it 
gets touched or deflected, but Yaro didn’t see it until it goes off his arm and into the 
gut-wrenching loss to the Dallas Stars for the Sharks. 53. Sharks were down 43 and Dallas put 
it into an empty net to seal it. Here’s Lindren with a shot and he scores. And that one did 
change directions on Yaroslav Ascarov. And for the second time tonight, Seattle has a lead. 
Another deflection. Seattle takes the lead. Shakir Muk Madullan going out now. He’s 
going to get the stick out and it goes off of Shakir. It looks like his foot and 
into the net. But on that particular play, the Sharks Yeah, it goes right off 
his foot. on that particular play. The Sharks have two guys over on Chandler 
Stevenson. He makes the play across. Can’t make the play as Newman sends it ahead. 
Here’s Shane Wright. He’ll throw on the brakes. Nice move against Skinner. Now Wright with a shot. 
Saved by Asterov. Shane Wright gets in. And that’s what happens when you play pucks. You just got to 
go through the man. The basics of hockey. You got to go through the man there. He’ll leave it for 
Vinnie. Iorio stretching it out. Tyler Tapoli with the puck ahead for Eklan. Ecklan wraps it around. 
It’s on the goal post going in. Joey Dord makes a really good save. You’ll get a great look at 
it from this angle. There’s the wrap. Also, you got to credit right in the grill. And 
the Sharks are back on their own. And again, problems for Dickinson. Here’s Ely. The shot 
goes wide as may have got a piece of that for back Ferraro. Shot rebound at the net and Dord 
holds his ground as Edward again had a great chance. He’s just trying to find a way to will 
that puck in the net. He gets there and he gets to the puck and Dord makes a save. Then he’s going 
to stop and he’s going to keep going at the net. Here comes Dick. Dickinson little behind. Stop 
shot stolen by Ko. Here’s Ko with beneers. Kako shoots an Ascar on the glove save and he’ll hang 
on. Kappo Kako he’s looking for the shot. He’s looking to go high in that glove side but Yaslav 
makes a mistake. Tries to get in untouched but can’t. Lindred has it checked away by Celbrini 
to Japan with it. Out goes as puck at the net and it’s grabbed by Decord in on the for check. 
Mlin celebrating tires are full. He gets it, kicks it back to him. Now you see William Mecklan 
again get to the net and Mlin’s just thrown it there looking for a deflection. Looks Larson comes 
flying in. Stevenson there in the corner as well. This is Ecklan right up the gut. It goes to Alan 
Toven who’s got an open net. Tolman hoops past one man to Chandler Stevenson and he’ll walk 
it in and tuck it home and it’s 42 Seattle. A third unanswered goal for the Kraken. And 
William Mechiff throws the puck out. He just misses. Just misses the pass in front. 
I think it was Skinner there. And then a nice play by Chandler Stevenson getting 
the pass and then tucks it into the empty

  1. It's like Sharks defensemen are actively trying to sabotage their own goaltenders at this point. Easily Mukhamadullin's worst game of his career. This one was really winnable
