A Scoreboard Shock
The Anaheim Ducks returned to the ice on Friday, September 25, 2026, facing a San Jose Sharks squad that delivered a masterclass in offensive efficiency. The result was a lopsided 10-0 victory for the home team at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.
For Anaheim, it was a night to forget as they failed to register a single goal against a Sharks defense that held firm throughout all three periods.
First Period Domination
San Jose wasted no time establishing control, pouring five unanswered goals into the first period alone. The barrage began with Mason Marchment opening the scoring with a wrist shot, his first of the game. Shortly after, Ivar Stenberg doubled the lead with a tip-in assist by Michael Misa.
Igor Chernyshov added another with a wrist shot, aided by Filip Bystedt and Jimmy Huntington. Michael Misa then completed the rush with his own second goal of the season, set up by Stenberg and Nolan Allan. Just before the intermission, Chernyshov struck again, extending the margin to 5-0 with a wrist shot assisted by Luca Cagnoni and Sam Dickinson.
