The Canucks got an overtime penalty shot goal, lifting them past San Jose for their 25th win of the season. The loss was the Sharks\u2019 fourth in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Dakota Joshua (PPG) and Drew O\u2019Connor (PS) scored for Vancouver. Meanwhile, Tyler Toffoli scored his 20th of the season for San Jose.<\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s a look at the three most impressive Vancouver Canucks players from their overtime win over the San Jose Sharks.<\/p>\n<h2>3 most impressive Vancouver Canucks players in OT win over San Jose Sharks<\/h2>\n<h3>#3 Dakota Joshua<\/h3>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/news-watch-dakota-joshua-s-between-the-legs-goal-anaheim-ducks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Dakota Joshua<\/a> broke an 11-game goalless drought, notching his third of the season. The goal came right as a Vancouver Canucks power play expired, giving the Canucks the lead midway through the third.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at the goal:<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Joshua had a strong game, hitting the ice for 19 shifts totaling 14:56 of ice time to go with two shots on goal. He delivered three hits and won every faceoff he took. Joshua\u2019s strong performance from the third line has given the Canucks a solid bottom-six presence this season.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 Drew O\u2019Connor<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/news-penguins-gm-kyle-dubas-makes-thoughts-clear-behind-canucks-trade-involving-20-125-875-star-drew-o-connor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Drew O\u2019Connor<\/a> scored his second goal for the Vancouver Canucks since coming over in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins. His goal on Thursday night was huge as it lifted the Canucks past the Sharks. But this was no ordinary overtime game-winner. O\u2019Connor scored following a hooking call on Sharks rookie sensation Macklin Celebrini.<\/p>\n<p>The on-ice officials awarded the penalty shot instead of calling it a minor penalty. O\u2019Connor made no mistake and buried the puck past Vitek Vanecek.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look:<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Connor fooled Vanecek by slowing up as he approached the net and then fired a wicked snap shot past the Sharks goalie. The goal gave the Canucks the two points and earned O\u2019Connor the game\u2019s first star.<\/p>\n<h3>#1 Thatcher Demko<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/thatcher-demko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Thatcher Demko<\/a> was money in the bank for the Canucks as he made 33 saves for the win. Thursday night\u2019s performance came on the heels of a 3-0 shutout against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, showing that Demko is an elite goalie despite injury concerns this season.<\/p>\n<p>While Demko did not earn a star for his performance in the game, he was the Canucks\u2019 most impressive player, especially as the Sharks outshot them 16-3 in the third period.<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks will have Friday off before hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night as the Leafs wrap up their West Coast swing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by R.
