The Sharks were held scoreless in the first period, while Vegas' Jack Eichel gave the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead headed into the locker room for the first intermission. Luke Kunin answered back for the Sharks in the second period, but the Sharks managed to surrender another late-period goal to drop the lead to Vegas and start the third period down 2-1.

Matt Nieto scored his 2nd goal of the season just 1:05 into the third period, tying the game for the Sharks and leveling the ice for the final 18 minutes of the contest.
