NHL Highlights | Sharks vs. Wild – October 26, 2025

Paulstead I think has been terrific and a good story for the Wild in the net. Solid starts in his first two games win against LA here at home and Asterov coming off his best game of the season shooting power plays it into the circle. Ecklund walks in for a shot sliding stop and the Wild get it clear. That’s where they get a lot of their their power play goals rebounds. They like to shoot it. William Ecklund along the wall. Plays it back to the point for Orlog who has three power play assists already on the year. Celebrini moves into the circle down low. Ekkan threw it across and they score. Deflected out front. It beats Valstead. And five and a half minutes in a power play goal for the Sharks and San Jose has a one zero lead. bring it to the net and they’re good at pressuring down low in front but it’s going to go off Broaddin on the back post. Yeah, they they isolate the twoon one. Eklan going there. Broaddin kind of gets caught with the skates at the wrong direction. Sometimes they’ll teach that D to keep almost faced the wrong way. San Jose has struggled defensively, but they still can skate and close. We saw them on that back check. Here’s Johansson with a shot and a save by Ascarov with a good stick. Wild forwards feel like maybe they have some room in the offensive zone and San Jose takes it away. [Music] Deflected puck goes to the corner. Capri’s pass too far for Johansson held by Ljigrin who drives in Ljiger into the slot. A poke check and they score. Feed went down to play the p the poke check. He knocked it away briefly, but then Michael Miso starts struggling. This is Capri off that gets his puck. He just throws it soft up the middle. Turnover. Then watch his recovery here to the middle. He gets beat to the inside. Ducks to the outside wall. Gives Lutheran the inside track. He takes it to the net. Really uncontested now. Puts Spurgeon and Middleton in a bad spot. They’ve got to check off. Misa gets left alone on the back door and of course the puck finds him there, but Wilds need more from 97 on that play. in the offensive zone only twice in a game this season. Here’s Capri off to Spurgeon now to Baldi through the circle. A shot off the post but his first look going downhill shooting far side through. Tried to go down low. Rossi’s there. Buham hustles over to pick it up off the wall. Leaves for Faber. Favor across to Rossi. Rossi in fires. They score. [Music] Marcus Johansson with another one on the back door feed by Rossy. Hopefully that’s going to throw the monkey off his back. But Mascarov was off on his angle on the Baldi shot. He gets a little aggressive on that right post here too and on that back side. There’s a little bit of room. He can’t play it. Johansson hugging that post. Rossi finds it off the shin pad and in. Boy, Johansson just right on the doorstep. When you’re high, you’re hot. When a guy is as aware of his struggles as Faber was, clearly with his comments last night, you know that that can do a wonders for confidence. Here’s Capri off in for Minnesota. Drops it back for Rossi. He scores. [Applause] Crowd gets something good that happens to him. They play with confidence. Capri off with a good stick. He gets inside body position. Does a good job to shield off the defensive play and then boom, he’s got Dickinson chasing. Good read. Puts it on a T for Rossy. And he goes bar down. And just like that, the Wild tie it at two. Two and 32 seconds. And we underway in the second period. Ecklund hit by Spurgeon as he tried to spin away with a punt. Capriov tried to get it to Spurgeon. Kurichev takes it away and they score. Ecklund beats Walstead. Capriog tried to flip one to Spurgeon in his own zone in space for Spurgeon. He’s coming up the middle of the ice and just rolls on him. [Applause] [Music] Another look at it. Just gets bumped in the arm at the last second. Kirish finds Ecklund and he puts that one in the back of the net. They have a high shooting percentage as a team. Skilled group that can finish if you give them these opportunities. They don’t generate a ton of shots. They’re 31st in the league in shots on goal per game. But they can score. And they score again. And for the second time tonight, the Wild will be down two. This time it’s former Wilder Ryan Reeves. San Jose gets on the for check inside position on the walls and then Reeves just beats Eurov back to the net. And in similar fashion to Johansson’s goal, it’s just shot through the crease and it goes off the shin pads of Reeves into the net. The Wild scored twice in 30. Tough decisions. I I think that needs to happen. We’ll see how this team responds right here. 40 minutes left. Capriov, Johansson, Rossi to open the final frame. Graph to the line. Spurgeon flips it back for Capriov. Capri off centers. Bald. He sent it across and Erikson pushed it just wide. Ericson deflects to Baldi. Baldi cut off by Kurashv to Faber up high. Capri off centers. Hartman scores. What a play. And it’s 43. [Music] But it’s a quick regroup. Then they change sides. It’s going to make its way back to Capri off. And he just finds Hartman in the slot. Hartman does a good job, boy, collecting this one, getting it to a spot where he can quick take a little chip shot. Yeah, beautiful pickup from Hartman and Capri off with the cell on the fake shot inside of the net. Ekan centered and it was tipped away by Volstead. Oh, there was room. Five hole for Akan with the stick of Volstead. Celebrating drives to Foley scores and in the final seconds of the power play, the Sharks restore a twogoal lead. They were confident. They knew the assignment. This second group sits back just a little bit. Too much room at the goal line. Back in with that goal line attack and then tooli eventually gets this puck in the slot. Left open stick available. Celibbrini pretty backhand pass. San Jose regains a two-goal lead and Estrosa and Trenan are the wild players involved in this scrum. Hartman on it out to Buham. Williams shot deflected. They score. There’s a quick answer for the Wild. Boo shot deflected on the way. Watch this. Slow up the wall. Pick up off the wall. Walk the blue. Walk the blue. Get the hips. Turn them. Put the puck in a spot to take a shot. He throws it towards the net. He doesn’t have the space to make that shot. If the feet aren’t so smooth and you earn your puck lock been aggressive, they’ve been shooting the puck. Pressure at the net. Dandria down. hits him on the numbers on the shoulder pad and it climbs up over Asarov and the shot attempts 29-11 for Minnesota. Gustoson heads to the bench. Capri off scores [Music] blue line. They’re they’re just trying to kill time. Erikson strong pushing back to the net and then through a screen. Capriog. Capriog to center. Dumps it in. And in a game that Minnesota twice, trailed by two. We will head to overtime. And he said, “Yeah, I think so.” Celebrini the total package. He can shoot, he can dish, he can beat you one-on-one. Baldi to Favor. San Jose’s not been able to change a body. So it’s the same guys that took the draw. Erikson insied by Escarov. Johansson controls. Feeds Faber. They’re back on the attack. Sharks still can’t change. Capri off. Johansson. Johansson centers and Favor denied by Ascarov for a second time. Drops to Favor. Save Ascarov. And here comes Celebrity on the breakaway. Celebrating in scores [Applause] in the slot for Brock Faber. But the guy that comes on the ice celebrating the only guy with any gas in the tank, picks this puck up off the favor miss. Then he comes down quick shot five hole on Ballstead. And that’s why this guy’s a superstar. Gets the opportunity and he finishes it. But the Wild do everything but put the puck in the back of the net in overtime before Celibbrini skates down, enters the offensive zone for the first time and ends this game. Sharks win at 65. [Music]

William Eklund led the way on offence with two goals and an assist, and Macklin Celebrini racked up three points, including scoring the OT-winner, as the San Jose Sharks survived a late comeback attempt from the Minnesota Wild, winning 6-5.
