The Oilers' dramatic comeback against the Sharks on January 29, 2026, showcased their resilience and determination. Trailing 3-0 after the first period, Edmonton mounted a stunning comeback, scoring four unanswered goals. Zach Hyman's game-winning overtime goal, assisted by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, was the highlight of the night. McDavid also recorded a goal and an assist, while Draisaitl contributed a goal and two assists. Despite a rough start, Connor Ingram made 17 saves to secure the victory. The Sharks, led by Yaroslav Askarov's 28 saves, took an early lead with goals from Collin Graf, Adam Gaudette, and Michael Misa. However, the Oilers' late surge, fueled by Draisaitl's 26th goal and McDavid's 34th, tied the game at 3-3. Evan Bouchard's game-tying goal with 59 seconds left in regulation set the stage for Hyman's heroics. The Sharks' early lead was threatened when Barclay Goodrow's goal was waived off for goalie interference. The young talent of Macklin Celebrini, who recorded his 90th assist, was a bright spot for San Jose. The Oilers' next challenge awaits as they host the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night, while the Sharks travel to Calgary to face the Flames.
