Late Miscues Cost Sharks in Shocking Season-Opening Loss to Golden Knights

Golden Knights won after a late tying goal and an overtime winner capitalized on Sharks goalie errors, marking the Sharks' fourth straight season opener loss, officials said.

  • On Thursday night at SAP Center, the Vegas Golden Knights beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in overtime, despite strong early play by San Jose Sharks goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic.
  • With 1:34 left in regulation, Jack Eichel's flip shot took an odd bounce to tie the game after Philipp Kurashev redirected a Dmitry Orlov shot past Akira Schmid.
  • Reilly Smith scored 1:24 into overtime after a Nedeljkovic puckhandling error, despite which Nedeljkovic made 27 saves in his Sharks debut.
  • The San Jose Sharks seemed poised for their first season-opening win in five seasons after killing a late penalty, but bad bounces led to their fourth straight season-opening loss.
  • The Golden Knights continue their road trip and play at Seattle Saturday, bouncing back with contributions from Pavel Dorofeyev and Brett Howden while Noah Hanifin is listed day to day.
