Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Earns win over Kings
Vitek 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 San Jose 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.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Rough start in Vegas
Vitek 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 San Jose 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.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Falls to Avalanche
Vitek Vanecek allowed three goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.The San Jose 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.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Yields four goals in loss
Vitek Vanecek gave up four goals on 27 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.Chicago had three goals less than 21 minutes into the game, and that was enough to send Vanecek to his second loss in as many starts. While the San Jose Sharks remain winless, they've played a bit better in front of Mackenzie Blackwood so far. Both goalies will likely get their looks between the pipes since the Sharks are still in rebuilding mode. Look for Blackwood to start Friday versus the Jets.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: Tending twine Thursday
Vitek Vanecek will patrol the road crease versus Chicago on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.Vanecek will make his second start of the season after giving up just one goal on 29 shots in his previous outing, albeit a loss to the Ducks.

Sharks' Vitek Vanecek: No help in loss
Vitek Vanecek allowed a goal on 29 shots in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Ducks. The second goal was an empty-netter.The game was scoreless for 51 minutes before Isac Lundestrom tallied. Vanecek put in a good performance against a weak opponent, but a lack of goal support from his teammates stuck him with the loss in his San Jose Sharks debut. Mackenzie Blackwood allowed five goals in an overtime loss to the Blues on Thursday, so Vanecek's stronger performance despite a worse result could help him stay in the mix for playing time. The Sharks play three games in four days on the road next week, beginning with Tuesday's visit to Dallas.
