The San Jose Sharks kicked off the preseason on Monday night with a tilt against the Vancouver Canucks in Colwood, British Columbia as part of the NHL’s Kraft Hockeyville promotion. It wasn’t the most entertaining or thrilling game as each team only registered 19 shots on goal and there weren’t many chances on each way.
However, the Canucks scored the lone goal of the game as Adam Cracknell fired a wrist shot from the high slot past Sharks goaltender Aaron Dell 1:39 into overtime to give Vancouver the 1-0 victory.
