Will Smith's First NHL Goals Propel Sharks to Victory Over Blackhawks

The 19-year-old rookie breaks his scoring drought, leading San Jose to their third consecutive win.

Will Smith scored the first two goals of his NHL career, helping the San Jose Sharks secure a 3-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Smith, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft, became the youngest U.S.-born player to score for the Sharks.
The Sharks have now won three straight games, marking a turnaround after a winless start to the season.
Coach Ryan Warsofsky encouraged Smith to enjoy the game, which seemed to boost the rookie's confidence and performance.
Sharks goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 29 saves, including 13 in the third period, to help preserve the victory.
