Sharks End the Season on a High Note, Defeat Jets 6-1

Dickinson would take a penalty of his own, as he tripped Mark Scheifele, with 6:20 remaining in the opening period. The Sharks’ penalty kill has struggled to end the season, and it allowed the Jets to generate quite a bit of pressure early in the kill. Ultimately, though, they would successfully keep the Jets’ power play off the board for the time being.

Will Smith gave the Sharks their first lead of the night off a feed by Celebrini. Celebrini’s assist tied him with Joe Thornton for the franchise points record.

The Sharks seemed motivated to help Celebrini break the record, as they brought a lot of offensive pressure to start the second period, getting six shots before the Jets recorded one.

Collin Graf extended the Sharks’ lead with his 21st goal of the season 5:51 into the second period, making it 3-1.

Just past the halfway point in the second period, the Sharks were given a bench minor penalty for too many men on the ice. Once again, the penalty kill held strong and maintained the Sharks’ lead.

Michael Misa scored on his own rebound to make it a 4-1 game with just under two minutes remaining in the middle frame. With five seconds remaining in the period, William Eklund joined the party with a goal of his own, extending the Sharks’ lead to 5-1.

Celebrini broke the record early in the third period with his first goal of the night, making it 6-1 and forever etching his name in Sharks history.

Shakir Mukhamadullin was called for holding against Gabriel Vilardi just over five minutes into the final frame, giving the Jets another opportunity on the power play. Again, the Sharks’ penalty kill stood tall and nullified the Jets’ man-advantage.

Sharks forward William Eklund went down the tunnel with just under two minutes remaining in the game after a high-stick by Ville Heinola, which earned the Jets’ defenseman a double-minor.

The Sharks mainly held onto the puck as time expired, ending the season with a 6-1 victory over the Jets.
