Mukhamadullin Snaps Tie, Sharks Snap Skid vs Oilers

Shakir Mukhamadullin, the Sharks' quiet Russian blueliner who's been whispering trade rumors in San Jose circles, steps up big in the third to tilt a tight one against Edmonton. San Jose's been bleeding points during that brutal five-game slide, putting heat on a coach who's seen better days in the bay area locker rooms. McDavid and the Oilers smell blood, but this gritty edge job changes the conversation in a Pacific packed with pretenders.
