After a scoreless opening frame, William Eklund put the Sharks ahead 1-0 for his 16th goal of the season early into the second period. He got ahold of the puck along the left boards before passing it across to Macklin Celebrini, who was in the neutral zone. Celebrini skated up into Boston's zone as Eklund skated in, and Celebrini, from along the right boards, sent it back to Eklund, who beat Joonas Korpisalo five-hole at 17:47. Casey Mittelstadt tied it up 1-1 later on in the second with 3:10 on the clock with his 13th of the season when he was fed in front by Cole Koepke, who took the puck away when Alexandar Georgiev moved the puck to Vincent Desharnais. Mittelstadt found the back of the net before Georgiev could get back to the crease.


Lucas Carlsson scored the go-ahead goal late in the third to break the tie 2-1 for his first goal as a Shark with 3:23 on the clock.
