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 holds the second wild-card spot in the crowded Western Conference,
with Nashville and Los Angeles even in points but each with one more game. The
Sharks had the worst record in the NHL last season and haven't made the
playoffs since 2018-19.
Sharks star Macklin Celebrini was scoreless after having nine points in his
previous three games.
John Tavares scored a power-play goal for Toronto. The Maple Leafs have lost
two of three on a four-game trip.
