The San Jose Sharks pulled off a surprising victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs, winning 3-2 in a shootout after rallying from a two-goal deficit. Tyler Toffoli and Jack Thompson scored to bring the Sharks back to life, with Alexander Wennberg adding two assists and goalie Alexandar Georgiev making 25 saves. This victory ended an eight-game losing streak for the Sharks, a much-needed boost in a tough season where they have struggled, particularly on their recent road trip.

On the other hand, the Maple Leafs had a five-game winning streak snapped. John Tavares contributed with a goal and an assist, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. Calle Jarnkrok marked his return after injury, though Toronto's recent home game did not yield the desired results as they prepare for an upcoming road trip.
