NHL: San Jose Sharks Shock League Leaders Colorado Avalanche in Overtime Thriller

It was a busy night in the NHL with 13 games on the schedule, but the biggest headline came from California — where the San Jose Sharks stunned the league-leading Colorado Avalanche with a dramatic 3–2 overtime victory.
The game at the SAP Center saw the Sharks go toe-to-toe with one of the season’s top contenders. Goals from Macklin Celebrini and Philipp Kurashev kept the hosts level through regulation, while Martin Nečas and Nathan MacKinnon found the net for the Avalanche. But it was Kurashev who played hero in overtime, scoring just two minutes into the extra frame to seal a memorable win for San Jose.
For the Sharks, this victory is a huge morale boost after a challenging start to the campaign, while Colorado will see it as a rare slip in an otherwise dominant season.
