  • Vanecek stopped 26 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kings. Vanecek earned his first win of the campaign, and this was just the second time in six outings he's allowed two or fewer goals. The 28-year-old is now at a 1-4-0 record with 20 goals allowed on 165 shots. The Sharks have won two games in a row, but this is likely just a blip on the radar for a team that's in line to struggle for much of the campaign. Vanecek is set to continue sharing the crease with Mackenzie Blackwood as the Sharks go through a five-game homestand.

  • Vanecek will patrol the home crease Tuesday against the Kings, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News. Vanecek will get the second half of San Jose's back-to-back after Mackenzie Blackwood played in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah. The 28-year-old Vanecek has posted a mark of 0-4-0 with a 4.00 GAA and an .869 save percentage in five appearances this season. LA has potted 28 goals in nine games during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Vanecek stopped 35 of 42 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Given the quality of each team's offense and defense, Saturday's result won't surprise anyone. Vanecek is now 0-4-0 through five appearances this season, though seven goals allowed is a new level of bad for the 28-year-old netminder. Mackenzie Blackwood fared a bit better in losses to the Ducks and Kings recently. The Sharks have a back-to-back up next with a road game in Utah on Monday before heading home to host the Kings on Tuesday, so both Vanecek and Blackwood should get a start.

  • Vanecek will defend the road net Saturday against the Golden Knights, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. Vanecek has surrendered 11 goals on 95 shots en route to a record of 0-3-0 through four appearances this season. Vegas has accounted for 35 goals in eight games this campaign.

  • Vanecek allowed three goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter. The Sharks actually played a decent defensive game in front of Vanecek, but a pair of Ross Colton tallies in the first period would be all the Avalanche needed. Vanecek remains winless (0-3-0) with 11 goals allowed on 95 shots over four appearances this season. The Sharks have an 0-4-2 record through six games as a team, and the crease situation could be a win-and-stay-in or a straight alternating pattern. By any token, it's likely Mackenzie Blackwood gets the nod Tuesday in Anaheim, while Vanecek should be penciled in for Thursday's game in Los Angeles.
