ST. LOUIS (AP) --- Darnell Nurse scored 1:03 into overtime and the San Jose
Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Thursday night.
Tyler Toffoli and Collin Graf also scored, and Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 24
shots for San Jose (3-1-0), which has secured each of its three wins in
overtime.
Sharks captain Macklin Celebrini missed his second straight game with a
lower-body injury.
Connor McMichael and Dillon Dub each scored and Joel Hofer made 24 saves for
St. Louis (1-2-1), which has lost three straight.
Nurse, who was acquired from Edmonton on July 1, deposited a feed from Ivar
Stenberg between Hofer's legs for his first goal with the Sharks.
Graf scored on a one-timer 6:05 into the third period to tie the game at 2-2
after Dub skated down the left wing from his own blue line along to score a
short-handed goal 1:39 into the third to put St. Louis ahead.
It was Dub's first goal after missing 2 1/2 seasons since scoring on Nov. 16,
2023 for Calgary against Vancouver.
Toffoli scored his second of the season on his own rebound as Kiefer Sherwood
blocked Hofer in front of the net to tie the game at 1-all almost nine minutes
into the second period.
McMichael scored his second goal of the season, two nights after scoring his
first as a member of the Blues, on a feed from Mason McTavish to give St. Louis
a 1-0 lead almost four minutes into the second.
Blues defenseman Colton Parayko skated in his 804th career game to break Barret
Jackman's franchise record for games played by a defenseman.

Sharks: Host Edmonton on Saturday.
Blues: Host Columbus Saturday night.
