Mason McTavish scored the only goal in the shootout, and the Ducks beat the San José Sharks 4-3 on Tuesday night at Honda Center.

McTavish scored in the third round and Tyler Toffoli’s attempt went wide right on the Sharks’ last try to give the Ducks the win.

Trevor Zegras and Sam Colangelo each had a goal and an assist, Jackson LaCombe also scored for the Ducks, and McTavish had three assists. Lukas Dostal stopped 28 shots as the Ducks won for the fourth time in six games despite being held to four shots on goal in the second period — the fewest allowed by the Sharks in any period all season.

Alexander Wennberg, Shakir Mukhamadullin and Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored for San José. Alexandar Georgiev finished with 34 saves as the Sharks lost their third straight (0-2-1).

Steven Lorentz scores the go-ahead goal on a deflection in the third period to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 3-2 win over the Ducks.

The Sharks trailed 3-1 after 20 minutes and Vlasic pulled them within one at 4:08 of the third with his first goal since March 14, 2024. The veteran defenseman was playing his 1,315th regular-season NHL game but just his 19th this season.

Wennberg tied it with a one-timer from while falling to his knees in the right circle with 3:14 remaining.

Zegras gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead 2:04 into the game, redirecting a pass from Colangelo in front off the inside of Georgiev’s right skate.

Mukhamadullin tied it at 5:28 with a long one-timer from the right point off a pass from Mario Ferraro, with the puck going through Dostal’s five-hole. It was the rookie defenseman’s second goal in 33 career NHL games.

LaCombe put the Ducks back ahead with a power-play goal at 8:13 with a fluttering shot through traffic.

Colangelo made it 3-1 with 59 seconds left in the first as he pounced on a loose puck in the crease behind Georgiev after McTavish’s attempt on a rebound trickled through the goalie’s pads.
