Overview

• Anaheim struck three times in 2:51 of the second period, with goals from Cutter Gauthier, Radko Gudas shorthanded, and Frank Vatrano.
• Pavol Regenda scored on a power-play deflection and Adam Gaudette added a late goal for San Jose, which could not erase the deficit.
• Ville Husso made 22 saves for the Ducks, while Jakub Škarek started for the Sharks and Gabriel Carriere finished the game without allowing a goal.
• The Sharks dressed only six players projected for their opening-night roster and continued preseason moves, assigning Filip Bystedt and Igor Chernyshov to the AHL Barracuda.
• Mason McTavish finalized a six-year, $42 million extension and returned to practice, Lukas Dostal is day-to-day with a lower-body issue, and top prospect Macklin Celebrini has been limited by an illness.
