I San Jose Sharks hanno iniziato nel migliore dei modi la stagione 2026-27, conquistando due vittorie nelle prime due partite, entrambe arrivate ai tempi supplementari.
Nella notte, gli Sharks hanno superato i Los Angeles Kings per 5-4 grazie al gol decisivo di Igor Chernyshov. L’attaccante ha chiuso la partita con una doppietta e, per la prima volta nella propria carriera, ha realizzato tre punti in una gara di regular season.
La sfida è rimasta in equilibrio fino a metà del secondo periodo. I Kings avevano sbloccato il risultato nella prima frazione con Adrian Kempe, prima del pareggio di Tyler Toffoli in superiorità numerica.
San Jose ha poi allungato sul 3-1 grazie alle reti di Kiefer Sherwood e Nolan Allan, ma Los Angeles ha accorciato le distanze a soli due secondi dalla fine del periodo centrale.
Nel terzo periodo, Chernyshov ha segnato il gol del 4-2, riportando gli Sharks avanti di due lunghezze. I Kings, però, non si sono arresi e hanno realizzato le due reti successive, completando la rimonta e portando il punteggio sul 4-4.
Ai supplementari è stato ancora Chernyshov a trovare la via del gol, regalando il successo agli Sharks. Dopo due partite, San Jose è quindi a punteggio pieno con quattro punti in classifica.
