NHL: San Jose Sharks finish homestand with game against Minnesota Wild on Thursday
San Jose Sharks center Luke Kunin battles for the puck against Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski during the first period of an NHL hockey game in San Jose, Calif., Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. SAN JOSE — Vitek Vanecek did everything he could to help the San Jose Sharks beat the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Thompson’s first NHL goal came at the 18:49 mark of the second period and came shortly after a cross-checking penalty to Blue Jackets defenseman Jake Christiansen expired. Vanecek is now 2-4-0 in seven games this season, as he earned the first shutout with the Sharks and the 10th of his career. Vanecek and a 2025 seventh round puck were acquired by San Jose from the New Jersey Devils at the trade deadline last season for fellow goalie Kaapo Kahkonen.
With the game at 0-0, Carl Grundstrom thought he had his first goal in a Sharks uniform in the second period as he beat Merzlikins on a breakaway at the 7:54 mark of the second period after a quick breakout play. But after a Columbus challenge, it was determined — and easy to see – that Grundstrom was offside.
“Just having him in practice today, the last couple of days, has been good for our group,” Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Monday afternoon. “I think he’s taken the next step of being close to ready to help us. So we’ll focus on tomorrow, tomorrow if he’s playing.” Celebrini has dealt with the hip injury since the early days of training camp in September. He also hurt his hip in an Oct. 1 preseason game against the Utah Hockey Club, as he was tripped up on a partial breakaway before he collided heavily — hip first — into the end boards.Miss Manners: Where should I draw the line on asking for money from my houseguests?Dear Abby: Their snubbing of my second wife has gotten out of handHarriette Cole: My competition for the job is a pretty teen.
