San Jose Sharks Defeat Florida Panthers 3-1 in Exciting Game
The San Jose Sharks secured a 3-1 victory over the Florida Panthers at SAP Center on November 8, 2025, marking their third consecutive win and their sixth game without a loss in the past six outings. Macklin Celebrini scored his 10th goal of the season, tying the record for most points by a teenager in the first 16 games of a season, a feat shared with Sidney Crosby, Steve Yzerman, and Wayne Gretzky. Celebrini opened the scoring with 2:35 remaining in the first period, assisted by Will Smith. Adam Gaudette added a second goal early in the second period, and Alexander Wennberg sealed the win with an empty-net goal late in the game. Yaroslav Askarov made 38 saves to earn the victory, showcasing impressive performance against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions. Despite outshooting the Sharks 33-9 after the first period, the Panthers struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, especially on the power play, going 0-for-5. Brad Marchand scored for the Panthers, extending his goal streak to four games, but it was not enough to overcome the Sharks' lead. The game demonstrated the Sharks' aggressive play and strong defensive effort, with head coach David Quinn praising their performance. The Sharks now lead the regular-season series 1-0 and are poised to continue their winning streak as they prepare for their next game against Minnesota, while the Panthers look to rebound in their upcoming match against Vegas.
