SEATTLE — The San Jose Sharks head to Climate Pledge Arena to take on the Seattle Kraken.

Alex Wennberg scored, but the Sharks lost 4-1.

Period 1

How is that Evans check to Toffoli’s back not called? Unless Toffoli sold it? Dangerous area.

1: Newly-formed top line showing some chemistry so far. Kurashev post?

Nice job by Wennberg, taking Winterton’s stick in front of a chance in front of Nedeljkovic. It’s a block actually.

4 in: What a pass by Celebrini.

Schwartz goal: Stephenson goes wide of Klingberg, would argue Klingberg shouldn’t chase the puck there, which allows the wide attack. It’s a down-low 2-on-1 from there. A little too much confidence in his skating there from Klingberg?

9 in: Wow, excellent exit pass by Goodrow. He drew in three Kraken, then passed it through them to Ostapchuk.

5 left: That’s a strong Klingberg shift. He was rolling all over the OZ, but defensively aware, set up Dellandrea for a good chance from behind the net.

4 left: Nice Ostapchuk exit bounce pass under a lot of duress. Could be luck, but if that’s real, nice touch. Only one place for that to go with a good ending, and he did it.

3 left: Wennberg has had a strong game so far. On backcheck, he covers for Desharnais pinching, then directs Leddy toward puck carrier while he takes pass option. That forces an early shot, easy save.

2 left: Immaturity by Mukhamadullin IMO. Seen this happen to him a couple times before. Too much time with the puck, if that’s possible. He gets himself in trouble, though he had clear breakout options with a fresh top line just seconds earlier. But he doesn’t move it, and the F1 on top of him. Completely unforced error there.

Wennberg goal: Macklin master class. But actually, a lot of good puck movement on that goal, including from Klingberg. But Celebrini, what a pass to Wennberg, who just has stick on ice for re-direction. Also, Eklund with a no-look shot-pass, that’s the pass that really breaks up Kraken PK, as three PK’ers try to close on Eklund. That leaves a quick Celebrini pass for an open Wennberg.

Good for the San Jose Sharks, even without that power play goal, they’ve responded with a solid period after that Calgary clunker.

Period 2

Outstanding shift from new third line, highlighted by a beaut Toffoli chance to Dellandrea in front. Toffoli’s never been the best skater, so what I watch more from him is the precision of his puck movement. That’s how he can keep up with faster linemates, he executes fast. That was off last two games, but he looks back to normal there tonight. Previously, he had been doing a nice job on the Celebrini line as a bridge connector of plays, until the road trip.

2 in: Wennberg in his bag tonight. Back-to-back shifts, gorgeous set-ups for Eklund and Graf. One was a more stationary wall to slot lead pass that Eklund beat his man to, then Graf’s from behind the net magic. San Jose Sharks testing Grubauer, who replaced Murray after the Wennberg goal.

Goodrow penalty: I’m with Goodrow, and Mayers is talking about it on the broadcast. Evans held Goodrow’s stick there. That kind of overt hooking doesn’t happen by accident.

8 in: Klingberg chases a not 50-50 puck on his blueline, misses, it’s a 2-on-1 the other way. He has to do a better job of when to go and when to no.

Smith no-goal: Nice job by Smith defensively, wins the battle high.

10 in: Schwartz might have saved a goal there, blocked a Celebrini bid into an open net.

9 left: Monster save by Grubauer, quick puck movement from Klingberg to Eklund to Celebrini. Eklund pass was needl;e through a thread.

Larsson goal: Leddy, who I’ve most liked tonight, gives a pizza to Marchment. That turnover leads eventually to a Larsson goal from the wall. Mayers says that Leddy shouldn’t have been in Nedeljkovic’s sightline.

Tolvanen goal: Not sure what Mukhamadullin is pinching for. Phantom pinch, puck wasn’t going along wall, it went toward center lane. That’s really poor judgment, to be honest.

This hurts, the San Jose Sharks have played a mostly excellent second. One no-goal, they were still coming, it seemed. But one screen goal, one misread on a pinch, and down two.

Period 3

1 in: Really nice bounceback game from Celebrini, after a couple not great performances from him. Better puck movement, and a couple of those oh my god plays, like that pass he just made.

7 in: Terrific solo effort by Wennberg on PK, attacking Grubauer, to draw a call. One of the best overall games that I’ve seen him play.

Marvelous job by Smith to not give up on puck, not give Kraken that easy PK clear. One-on-one battle with Gaudreau that Smith wins to keep puck alive.

10 in: Really like that from Nedeljkovic, confidence with puck. Looks like he points that he’s going along wall, then pumps a perfect pass up the middle to Eklund. Easy exit.

6 left: Reaves draws a call. Huge power play! I’ve actually liked Ostapchuk tonight.

Schwartz goal: That ices it, long empty netter. Grubauer was very good in relief, stopped some Grade-A’s. San Jose Sharks played well, they’ll win more games than not playing this way, I think.
