In a closely contested match, Lucas Carlsson's backhand goal late in the third period secured a 2-1 victory for the San Jose Sharks against the Boston Bruins. This marks a significant moment for Carlsson, who has faced challenges over the past year but is now finding form with the Sharks, having performed well in the AHL this season with 10 goals in 44 games.

The Sharks showcased their resilience, rallying after a scoreless first period, with rookie William Eklund opening the scoring. Despite a late equalizer from Casey Mittelstadt for the Bruins, who have now lost five consecutive games, the Sharks responded decisively. Barclay Goodrow sealed the win with an empty-net goal, solidifying the Sharks' hard-earned comeback.
