The San Jose Sharks just won for the sixth time in their past seven games as they defeated the Dallas Stars 5-4 in overtime on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Tyler Toffoli scored the overtime winning goal, his second goal of the game, in what was yet another display of resilience by the Sharks. Comebacks aren\u2019t foreign to the San Jose Sharks, as they sit third in the Pacific Division with 49 points. Just this week, Macklin Celebrini<\/a> led the team back from down 3-2 against the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Celebrini had another three points, extending his point streak to 13 during the Sharks\u2019 win on Saturday. Toffoli described his overtime winner as deserved.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how he saved my first shot,\u201d Toffoli said. \u201c[William Eklund], he could have shot and probably scored himself, [but] I was open, and I was just trying to get it on net and fortunate it went in.\u201d<\/p>\n San Jose owns a record of 23-18-3. Being five games over NHL .500 hasn\u2019t happened for the Sharks since 2019, which was also the last time they made the Stanley Cup Playoffs.<\/p>\n \u201cDidn\u2019t know that,\u201d Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said postgame. \u201cThe standings are the standings. We are where we are, and we\u2019re gonna keep working. We\u2019ll focus, enjoy this one, turn the page at 12:01, and a good Vegas team coming in here. You just got to keep going and grinding away at it. Can\u2019t really look at the standings.\u201d<\/p>\n Adam Gaudette<\/a> scored the game-tying goal for the Sharks. Gaudette also added an assist and is now on a five-game point streak, scoring six points (3 goals, 3 assists). The veteran forward is enjoying a solid first season in Teal, and he knows the team he\u2019s on is a good one.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re maturing, and we\u2019re playing mature hockey,\u201d Gaudette said. \u201cLike I said, doing the little things right. That\u2019s what playoff teams do. That\u2019s what these really good teams do, that are making the playoffs every year and making long runs.\u201d<\/p>\n #SJSharks<\/a> Gaudette on the team’s resilience: “We’re not getting down. We don’t get down. We’re not motherf*cking each other out there. We come together as a group. [When] we get down, we grab the guy next to us, and we just go right back to work.”<\/p>\n \u2014 Max Miller (@Real_Max_Miller) January 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Toffoli acknowledged the differences between this season\u2019s San Jose Sharks team and last season\u2019s. This team is different, and the players know it and want to give their fans their best effort night after night.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a completely different group from then,\u201d Toffoli said. \u201cTonight was another game where we battled back and found a way. We\u2019ve been doing it all season long. It\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve done something like this, so [it\u2019s] just a lot of fun coming to the rink with these guys. When we\u2019re seeing the results, it just makes everything a lot sweeter.\u201d<\/p>\n Sharks rookie Sam Dickinson<\/a> made a clutch play to feed Gaudette on the game-tying goal and is excited for the team\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we get to our game and play what works for us, that\u2019s when those comebacks happen,\u201d Dickinson said. \u201cWe got to bring it every night for 60 minutes, doing the right stuff. When we do the right stuff, we can really play with anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n Dickinson is one of the few Sharks sporting a new buzz cut. Ty Dellandrea was the first to make the drastic hair change, but now he\u2019s got followers. Dickinson and Barclay Goodrow have jumped on the train. There\u2019s no way to prove it is good luck, but if the San Jose Sharks keep winning, the whole team might shave their heads.<\/p>\n \u201c[Dellandrea] led the charge. His was first, and then Goody came in and his was gone. And I was like, Well, I guess I\u2019ll be next. 2026, year of the buzz cut,\u201d Dickinson laughed.<\/p>\n The Vegas Golden Knights have scored at least a point in the past 12 games against the San Jose Sharks and will play their final matchup of the 2025-26 season on Sunday at the SAP Center.<\/p>\n Read more news and stories about the San Jose Sharks on\u00a0Sharks Hockey Digest<\/a>!
