Sharks come back late from 3 down, defeat Utah Hockey Club in OT for first win

Granlund had a goal and two assists, Fabian Zetterlund scored twice and Jake Walman had three assists for the Sharks (1-7-2), who earned their first win under coach Ryan Warsofsky. Mackenzie Blackwood made 19 saves.

“The players, my compliments, they stuck with it,” Warsofsky said. “There were times when we did really, really good things and just weren’t rewarded for it. But we stuck with it, we just kept playing, and that will be our mentality. We will never give up.”

Matias Maccelli scored his first two goals of the season, and Ian Cole and Vladislav Kolyachonok each had two assists for Utah (4-4-2), which has lost four straight and is 1-4-2 after a 3-0 0. start. Ingram made 40 saves.

“That’s not who we are and that’s not who we want to be,” Utah coach Andre Tourigny said. “You have such an advantage, that is not the way we want to play. That’s not who we want to be.”

Zetterlund scored his second of the game to put San Jose up 4-2 at 15:28 of the third period. While Blackwood was pulled for the extra skater, he skated to the net on a faceoff win and redirected Granlund’s shot from the left point.

“I want more. I want to hold the puck, be physical and bring the puck to the net as much as possible,” Zetterlund said. “I think I went a step further today and it was a great match.”
