O'Connor's OT Penalty Shot Secures Canucks 2-1 Win Over Sharks

Drew O'Connor scored on a penalty shot just 33 seconds into overtime, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. O'Connor was awarded the shot after Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini was penalized for hooking. The Canucks initially took the lead with a power-play goal from Dakota Joshua, but Tyler Toffoli equalized for the Sharks late in regulation. Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko made 33 saves, although the team was without their leading scorer, Quinn Hughes, due to injury. This win marked the Canucks' 10th victory in their last 11 meetings against the Sharks and improved their record to five wins in seven games. Meanwhile, the Sharks continued to struggle, losing nine of their last ten games.
