SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- Zack Ostapchuk scored his first goal in nearly three
months and the San Jose Sharks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 on Thursday
night for their fourth straight victory.
Collin Graf, William Eklund and Adam Gaudette also scored and Alex Nedeljkovic
made 18 saves.
San Jose, which had the worst record in the NHL last season, holds the second
wild-card spot in the crowded Western Conference. The Sharks haven't made the
playoffs since 2018-19.
Sharks star Macklin Celebrini, who had nine points in his previous three games,
was scoreless on three shots.
John Tavares scored a power-play goal for Toronto. The Maple Leafs have lost
two of three on a four-game trip.
