SAN JOSE – John Klingberg and Jeff Skinner both scored and goalie Alex Nedeljkovic finished with 24 saves to earn a shutout as the San Jose Sharks beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 on Sunday at SAP Center in the preseason opener for both teams.
Tyler Toffoli assisted on Klingberg’s power play goal at the 7:18 mark of the second period that gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead.
Michael Misa, taken second overall by the Sharks at the NHL Draft in June, took the faceoff to start the power play and Toffoli retrieved the puck to the right of the Golden Knights’ net. He then sent it to the point for Klingberg, who skated toward the middle of the ice before his shot got past Vegas goalie Carl Lindbom.
Skinner’s goal with 46 seconds left in the second period came at the end of a pretty passing sequence.
