Return from Injury
Macklin Celebrini came back after missing two games with a lower-body issue and tallied his opening goal of the season. The center played 24 shifts for 21:59 of ice time, adding two shots, two hits and two penalty minutes in the contest.
Oilers Take Control
Edmonton built a 3-0 lead with goals from Mattias Ekholm at 12:37 of the opening period, Vasily Podkolzin on his fifth of the year early in the third and Alex Formenton shortly after. Connor McDavid picked up his 13th point and 10th assist on the Podkolzin tally to move ahead of Jack Eichel atop the league standings in both categories.
Late Push Falls Short
Celebrini cut the deficit to 3-1 midway through the third, yet the Sharks could not close the gap in the 3-1 result. Tristan Jarry turned aside 19 shots while Yaroslav Askarov stopped 17 for San Jose, which had earned a 3-2 overtime win in its previous outing before this home setback.
