William Eklund scores three times and Los Gatos’ Devin Cooley earns first NHL win as San Jose Sharks beat St. Louis Blues
San Jose Sharks center Luke Kunin and St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk fight in the second period of an NHL hockey game in San Jose, Calif., Saturday, April 6, 2024. SAN JOSE – William Eklund scored at the 3:56 mark of overtime to complete his first career hat trick as the San Jose Sharks beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Saturday at SAP Center.
The Sharks took a 2-0 lead into the third period as forward William Eklund scored twice on the power play goals and Cooley made 22 saves in the first 40 minutes. The Sharks drew some inspiration from Cooley, but also from forward Luke Kunin, who buried Blues winger Jake Neighbours along the boards in front of the St. Louis bench. He then fought defenseman Justin Faulk and after the scrap ended, implored his teammates to pick up the pace.
The Sharks took advantage, as Eklund took a pass from Henry Thrun and rifled a one-timer past Blues goalie Joel Hofer at the 14:42 mark. Eklund also scored at the 16:59 mark of the second period after a scramble in front of the St. Louis net.
