Blues Edge Sharks 5-4 in Overtime Thriller

The St. Louis Blues staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the San Jose Sharks 5-4 in overtime, with Brayden Schenn scoring the winning goal just 45 seconds into the extra period. This victory marks the Blues' second win of the season, overcoming a 4-1 deficit in the final period, thanks to goals from Justin Faulk, Radek Faksa, and Ryan Suter. Meanwhile, Sharks' rookie Macklin Celebrini had an impressive debut, scoring the fastest goal for a No. 1 overall pick in their first game and contributing a second assist, showcasing a bright future for San Jose despite the loss.
