The San Jose Sharks Audio Network is proud to present
Sharks Instant Replay.
Highlights from the most recent San Jose Sharks game.
It's time for the Sharks Instant Replay
of a disappointing night in St. Louis.
Oh yes, the Sharks got one point,
but in front of a set out crowd of 18,096 at Enterprise Center.
The St. Louis Blues get a dramatic goal
and beat the Sharks in overtime
by the score of two to one.
Here's how it happened.
It began with a great goal-tending exhibition
between the starter for the Sharks,
Yaroslav Askerov and the goal-tender of record
for the St. Louis Blues, Joel Hofer.
Hofer had a shutout in his last appearance
here a couple of nights ago against Washington
and he continued his fine goal-tending,
including a pretty big save near the end of the first period
against the hard-charging San Jose team.
Off the face off, cleared back up to the blue line.
Nice keep-in by Kairu.
Go to the near boards.
The Sharks able to poke it out.
Parkly Goodrows wins a little battle.
Sends it ahead.
God, dead games the zone.
He's got a chance to get it to Goodrows.
And he does it across the ice.
There's a one-time shot by Old Steppchuk.
That's a great save by Hofer.
And cleared all the way down by St. Louis.
No icing on the play.
So the Sharks goal-tender comes out of the net.
Askerov tips it away from Kairu.
That was Hofer's best save right there
off of Zach Old Steppchuk.
On it's just a great zone entry
in the final seconds of this first period.
That was a great chance for Zach Old Steppchuk
who came into this game with no goals in his previous 22 contest.
He came awfully close on that play.
But Hofer was equal to the task in the first period
and did nothing, nothing,
in spite of the Sharks out shooting the blues, 9-6.
It kind of turned things around the other way in the second period.
And early in the second period,
some stand-up for your teammate action occurred.
God, dead hit hard behind the net there by Logan Mayu.
Certainly he's been involved.
He's now Osteppchuk.
Once a piece of Mayu,
they're going to drop the gloves in a way they go.
Osteppchuk took exception to the way that Mayu went after graph
and Mayu is a pretty tough customer.
But Osteppchuk is coming back with a nice roundhouse right.
A couple of hard hits on Mayu.
Osteppchuk is getting the best of it right now.
There goes Mayu's helmet.
It's to the head left and right for Osteppchuk.
Going up against Logan Mayu.
He's just trying to survive here.
And finally, the line's been real step in.
As it turned out,
the Blues ended up with a power play as a result of that,
because Osteppchuk got two minutes for instigating,
five minutes for fighting,
and a 10-minute misconduct.
And all of that after that great scoring chance
at the end of the first period,
not sure if that hurt the sharks or not,
because the Wendberg line was playing so well,
but the sharks could have used that little extra energy
near the end, I think.
100%.
Yeah, they could have without a doubt.
And that's what the sharks are doing now.
That's what every team does now.
You go stick up for your guys.
And you don't expect to get two, five, and ten.
It was a right call by the official.
I understand why Zach was going after his man.
It wasn't a dirty hit by Mayu,
but you go stick up for your guys.
And so it stayed nothing, nothing at that point.
The fist of cups got the crowd excited here in St. Louis,
and then it went back to the gold tending.
Yaroslav Askerov was nothing short of brilliant
in the time that he was on the ice.
And in the second period, he had to make yet another big save.
Behind the gold line, inside the San Jose zone,
Souter feeds Haltaway.
Walks into the circle, moves to the top,
drops it back, now found her new side feed in.
But there's a great save by Askerov,
preaching out with his glove and stick hand,
getting it with the blocker board,
and knocking it away from Souter in the shark's clear.
That was a pure Souter chance early in the second period,
but it wasn't long after that that a real turning point
in this game did occur.
And that is when Vinny Dayharnay checked Nathan Walker,
trying to just take him out,
and accidentally put him into his own gold tether.
Askerov went down, he was on the ice for quite some time.
They took his goalie mask off,
Will Leonard, the shark's medical trainer,
came out to attend.
And Yaroslav Askerov skated off the ice,
and Alex Nadelkovich had to come in.
Yeah, it was a turning point.
Defensemen always seemed to want to knock a guy
into your gold tender.
It always seems to cause some problems.
And it wasn't like a very hard hit by Nathan Walker.
He maybe gave it a little bit once he felt the pressure.
He certainly going to go into the goalie.
That's what you do.
But looking at the landing by Askerov,
he didn't snap his head back.
He didn't get his arm caught.
It didn't look like a lower body injury.
They were looking at his neck.
And then that was it.
It was just something that,
who knows what it was,
but we were informed not until the third period
that he wasn't coming back.
And Alex Nadelkovich had to come in.
And so Nadelkovich came in and had to make some pretty big
saves of his own during the course of the contest
to keep the score nothing-nothing.
But on the other side of the ice,
Joel Hofer was continuing his sterling gold tending,
including this save in the second period.
Ice keeping by Deharnet,
pokes it off the right boards,
and William Beckham grams in the right corner.
Center it's play in front of this truck right on by Sherwood.
And that's a great save under pressure by Hofer.
Sherwood had a man all over him,
and he used his strength to get that puck on gold.
What a great chance for a keeper Sherwood,
but a better save by Joel Hofer to keep the score nothing-to-nothing.
And then we went into the third period.
St. Louis would get the goal late in the second,
actually, before that happened,
as Delibor Dvoroski ended up getting credit for the goal
at 17-19 of period number two.
It becomes hot away down across the San Jose line.
Alex Nadelkovich in gold to our left looking on
is it takes off the boards in front of him.
They score.
A weird end-board caram,
and skating down the middle with his stick-down
was Delibor Dvoroski.
Holloway had a chance to get it in the kind of bounce on him,
but it went right to Dvoroski,
who had it on his forehand,
and one flick of the wrist,
and it gets by Goldtender to Delkovich.
The blues are on top.
One, one again.
That's goal coming at 17-19 of the second period.
Delibor Dvoroski puts the blues in front,
one zip with his 11th of a season.
Dillon Holloway won assist,
Jimmy Snuggerrewd the other,
and St. Louis took a one-nothing lead
into the second period dressing room.
The sharks would come out in the third,
and they would continue to fight back.
With the score one-nothing,
San Jose would come back and finally get a chance
with the best line on the ice,
centered by Alex Weinberg.
You know it?
It would be Weinberg that would get the tying goal.
These vessels shooting it,
save, rebound in front,
trouble,
finally try to get it.
Weinberg, great defensive play.
Sharks break it out.
Download that comes Eclin,
a phospholine flows to Weinberg,
moving in sparr!
Alex Weinberg rips the shot off a great pass from William Eclin,
and at 504, the third period,
the sharks have come back and tied this game,
one-one.
More to great goal by Weinberg,
ending a 167-minute and 30-second shut-out streak
for Joel Hofer in the Blues,
Eclin and Kiefer,
Sherwood got the assist,
and Sherwood deserves a lot of credit for a skate
through that you talked about to create some space.
Yeah, he did a very good job.
He skates through,
that brings Fowler with him.
Fowler's got to go right with Kiefer,
so that opens up the passing lane,
and boy, you're absolutely right.
Alex Weinberg's line was the best line on the ice
for the San Jose Sharks,
and Weinberg picks that puck up
with a skate to a stick and beautiful shot.
Sharks on gold in the third period,
favored San Jose eight to four,
so you have to certainly credit Hofer
for some outstanding saves.
In overtime,
Alex Nidelkiewicz,
who had had to make a couple of stops in relief
of the injured Yaroslav Askerov,
made a really big one to keep it one-one.
Kept in by Fowler,
checked away by Weinberg,
fed behind it.
Oh, no, centering pass in front.
Save, made by Nidelkiewicz,
on a deep bite of Orskie.
He was all by himself in front,
with one 10 left in overtime.
What a great save by Nidelkiewicz
to keep the score one-one,
with one 10 left in overtime,
on Dollyboard Dvoroski,
who scored the goal earlier in regulation for St. Louis.
Time out, Sharks, at that point.
Everybody gets rested.
Everybody on the ice.
But unfortunately,
kind of a blip in the time capsule,
mentally, for a couple of players.
And with seconds remaining in overtime,
the blues found a way to win it.
A steal by Seltagone,
from Bootsameta,
to what a job.
He sends to the middle of the ice,
without the 20 seconds left in overtime.
Sharks about a hustle here.
Long feet for Seltagone.
He breaks into the zone.
He stick handles to his left.
He's got a little off in front.
There's the pass.
Or the Brexit Chutzach,
and a save.
It's not wide by the goal-tender, Holford.
One last chance for the blues.
Seven seconds left in overtime.
Here comes how the way moving in,
who tries to better the spot be scored.
Less than three seconds left in overtime,
and have a way with one last chance
for the St. Louis Blues.
Goes to the backhand,
and goes up top on Alex Nadellkevich.
The final score in overtime.
The blues to the Sharks won.
San Jose's winless streak is now at six games.
What an effort.
What a disappointment at the end.
That is tied for the second-leadest overtime goal ever
against the Sharks at 457 of OT.
Matt Dushane of Colorado did it back in March of 2013.
Against San Jose at 459 with one second left.
Rick Nash of Columbus did it in January of 2004
against the Sharks at the same 457 time.
It isn't it's somewhat coincidental
that we're going to Columbus after this.
Yeah, absolutely.
On that play,
on that play,
Dimitri Arloff,
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I got to hit the net on that play.
You can't be firing it high over the glass, or on the glass.
I thought,
Macklin-Seller,
I was surprised Macklin-Seller bringing a beat back
to the Sharks net,
and Alex Nadellkevich played
really well.
You highlighted some of the saves,
but there's no reason for him to be down on that play.
The only option that Holloway's got is to go upstairs.
If he just stands up, hugs the post,
and then if Holloway was cut in front,
you got to stick check there,
or then you can go down.
But he was down before he even touched the puck,
and now it was interesting,
because Nadellkevich thought about going after that puck.
But what do you remember about Nadellkevich
and overtime going after pucks?
Well, first game of the year.
Against Anaheim.
And they go after the puck, and it doesn't work.
So I understand him staying in the net,
but I didn't like the fact that he was down,
and that allowed that upstairs play.
Now,
that one second of hesitations proved to be fatal.
Yes, yes, 100%.
But it's also a heck of a play by Holloway to get that upstairs.
It's a beautiful, beautiful play.
And you have to say,
hey, Nadellkevich gave the Sharks a chance to win
with that save emitted before,
and also a couple of saves that he had to make in a tough situation
in relief of Yaroslav Askerov.
Now what for the game against Columbus?
Is Askerov going to be okay to come back?
Or are we going to see Laurent Persuak
or somebody else coming back this way?
Get on the plane, exactly.
I'm on the other, just one more thing on Nadellkevich.
We always talk about the pucks that go by the guy, right?
Very rarely do we talk about the pucks that he stops.
And we think those are just routine,
and he should have stopped those.
So I'll try to be fair to Alex and Nadellkevich
by didn't like how he played that,
but he was incoming in a very tough situation,
as you said.
He was the guy that gave the Sharks a chance.
Final score, two to one and over time.
St. Louis beats the Sharks.
San Jose gets one point.
They're 32-31 and seven for 71 points,
and the Blues are 30-30-11.
They also have 71 points
to tie the Sharks in the overall standings
in the Western Conference.
