The Sharks received the same level of goaltending Friday night at Madison Square Garden as they did earlier in their road trip in wins over the Chicago Blackhawks, New Jersey Devils, and New York Islanders.

They just didn't have the offense.

The Sharks were unable to beat Igor Shesterkin through the first 48 minutes or Alexandar Georgiev for the rest of regulation time in a 1-0 loss to the New York Rangers.

Shesterkin made 19 saves before he was injured with 14:52 left in the third period. Georgiev came on in relief and made nine saves as the Sharks lost for the second time in the last five games.

Sharks goalie Adin Hill, starting for the second consecutive night, stopped 15 of 16 shots through the first two periods.

But the Sharks were unable to convert on a handful of high danger chances and went 0-for-2 on the power play to fall to 3-1-0 on their road trip that ends Sunday in Columbus.

The Sharks were looking for their-ever first sweep of the New York-area teams on the same road trip. San Jose beat the Devils 5-2 on Tuesday and the Islanders 2-1 in overtime on Thursday. They began the trip with a 2-0 win over the Blackhawks.

In those three games, Sharks goalies Hill and James Reimer combined to stop 85 of 88 shots.

Reimer might have been expected to start Friday but was not feeling well. coach Bob Boughner said before the game. Reimer, though, could he an option to play Sunday.

Hill stopped nine of 10 shots in the first period as the Sharks trailed the Rangers 1-0 after 20 minutes on a power play goal by Ryan Strome.

With Noah Gregor serving a goaltender interference penalty, the Sharks had two chances to clear the puck before the puck found its way to Mika Zibanejad. He found Adam Fox at the point, and he fed Strome, who ripped a slap shot past Hill at the 6:03 mark of the first.

Hill made 24 saves in the Sharks' 2-1 overtime win over the New York Islanders on Thursday, his first victory since Nov. 9 when San Jose beat the Calgary Flames 4-1.

The Rangers entered Friday with wins in eight of their last nine games. Their only regulation time loss in eight games at the Garden this season came Oct. 25 against Calgary.

GOOD FOR GOODROW: The Sharks' game Friday was their first against Barclay Goodrow since they traded him to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Feb. 2020.

It's not a stretch to say the trade changed Goodrow's life. He won two Stanley Cup championships with the Lightning in 2020 and 2021 before he signed a six-year, $21.85 million contract with the Rangers in July as an unrestricted free agent.

Boughner said he uses Goodrow as an example to some of the players that are in the AHL now.

Goodrow played most of his first season as a professional with the Sharks – probably before he was ready to become a full-time NHL player – in 2014-15 . He spent most of the next two seasons with the Barracuda, honing his game before he cracked the Sharks' roster out of training camp before the 2017-18 season. He hasn't played in the AHL since.

"He took the hard road to get here," Boughner said of Goodrow. "He had some early success and then he got sent back down to the minors. It's happened a few of our guys this year.

"He figured out what he needs to do as a pro to stick around, now he's a two-time Stanley Cup champ."

ROSTER UPDATE: Jonah Gadjovich, injured in the first period of Thursday's game, was replaced in Friday's lineup by Lane Pederson

Sharks coach Bob Boughner said X-rays on Gadjovich's ankle were negative and added Friday afternoon that the forward is considered day-to-day, although he added that Gadjovich is walking in a boot.

Boughner said that Andrew Cogliano, who missed the games vs. the Devils, Islanders and Rangers as he tended to a personal matter, will be available Sunday. Cogliano flew into Ohio on Friday.
