Darnell Nurse scored 1:03 into overtime Thursday to complete the San Jose Sharks’ 3-2 comeback victory over the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center. Ivar Stenberg found Nurse moving toward the back post, and the defenseman converted his first goal for San Jose since arriving from Edmonton in July.
San Jose had to answer twice before reaching overtime. Connor McMichael gave St. Louis an early lead, but Tyler Toffoli tied the game in the second period by finishing his own rebound. Dillon Dube restored the Blues’ advantage with a short-handed goal early in the third before Collin Graf responded less than five minutes later.
Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 24 of 26 shots in his first start of the season. The Sharks improved to 3-1-0, and all three of their victories have required overtime—a pattern that reflects both the group’s resilience and its inability to separate from opponents in regulation.
San Jose earned the result without captain Macklin Celebrini, who missed his second consecutive game with a lower-body injury and was listed as day to day. The win provided an immediate response to Monday’s 5-0 loss in Dallas while keeping the Sharks’ strong opening stretch intact.
