Leo Carlsson scored 46 seconds into overtime and the Anaheim Ducks overcame a two-goal, third-period deficit to for a 7-6 win over the San Jose Sharks.

Thompson, 23, and Carlsson, 28, began the year on the Sharks’ injured non-roster list. Thompson sustained a lower-body injury during the team’s preseason game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Oct. 3, and Carlsson had a lower-body injury and was unable to take part in any preseason games.

Jeff Skinner’s goal with 14:26 left in regulation time gave the Sharks a 6-4 lead at the 5:34 mark of the third period. But San Jose continued to play loose, carefree hockey, and allowed three unanswered goals for their second straight heartbreaking loss.

The 2025-26 Anaheim Ducks began their season with a two-game road trip, taking on the Seattle Kraken and San Jose Sharks, and are coming home with a 1-1-0 record.

Carlsson went down the left wing and fired a wrist shot over the blocker of Yaroslav Askarov to win it after Chris Kreider ’s second goal of the game tied it 6-6 with 51 seconds remaining in the third period. Kreider scored on a tap-in from the left post after Carlsson's shot rebounded off Askarov's pad right to him.
