In a crucial game at Honda Center, Sharks defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin suffered a significant injury due to an altercation with Ducks forward Frank Vatrano. After a collision with Troy Terry, Vatrano aggressively targeted Mukhamadullin, resulting in him falling awkwardly. Despite being injured, Mukhamadullin's team rallied to score two goals shortly after, tying the game against the Ducks. However, the Sharks ultimately lost in a shootout, with a strong performance from goalie Alexandar Georgiev being a notable highlight of the match.
"Obvously, they had a lot of opportunities in the third, and he gave us a chance to win," said Sharks winger Tyler Toffoli about Georgiev's performance.
"Mukhamadullin ran into Troy Terry in the neutral zone, which led to Vatrano's aggressive intervention that resulted in Mukhamadullin's injury."
"Vatrano skated away after the incident as Mukhamadullin sat up and winced in pain, ultimately leading to him being assisted off the ice."
"Despite trailing by two, the Sharks made a comeback to tie the game before losing in the shootout, showcasing team resilience after Mukhamadullin's injury."
