In a thrilling overtime finish, Jake DeBrusk netted the game-winner with just 17.6 seconds remaining, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Monday. The Canucks rallied from a third-period deficit, with Linus Karlsson's strike leveling the game after Macklin Celebrini's power-play goal had initially put the Sharks in front. Nikita Tolopilo made a solid debut in goal for Vancouver, stopping 15 of 16 shots. This win extended the Sharks' losing streak to ten games, showcasing their struggles this season.

Despite a scoreless power-play record, the Canucks pressed hard, outshooting the Sharks and maintaining a strong offensive presence. The Sharks, depleted by injuries, saw Celebrini become a bright spot, but their defensive lapses and inability to capitalize on early chances ultimately cost them the game. The Canucks look to build momentum as they prepare for the Vegas Golden Knights in their next game, while the Sharks aim to turn their fortunes around against the Edmonton Oilers.
