Phillip Kusharev scored in regulation and the only goal of a shootout, and the San Jose Sharks held on for a 4-3 win over the Kings on Thursday night.
San Jose’s first player in the shootout, Kusharev skated toward his left then shifted direction toward the net before flipping the puck over the left shoulder of Kings goalie Anton Forsberg. Kusharev also had a goal in the second period.
Ty Dellandrea had a goal and an assist for San Jose. Adam Gaudette scored a goal, while Collin Graf had two assists. Yaroslav Askarov made 31 saves, two during the shootout.
Joel Armia, Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe had goals for the Kings.
Gaudette got the Sharks going with a goal on San Jose’s first shot of the game 2:33 into the first period. Gaudette raced in from the blue line and took a pass from Dellandrea then fired a wrist shot into the lower left corner of the net.
After the Kings tied it on Armia’s shorthanded and unassisted goal late in the period, San Jose regained the lead when Collin Graf skated around behind the net then flipped to Dellandrea in front of the net for a 2-1 lead with 9.9 seconds remaining.
The Kings responded quickly with a tying goal less than two minutes into the second period when Kopitar slid the puck through the legs of Askarov. Trevor Moore and Cody Ceci had assists.
After the Kings had a goal nullified by an offside penalty midway through the second period, Kusharev’s sixth goal of the season gave the Sharks a 3-2 lead.
Kempe forced overtime with his seventh goal of the season with 59 seconds remaining in regulation.
Net immigration to Britain peaked at 944,000 in March 2023, higher than the previously estimated 906,000.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revised figures based on improved labour ministry data, showing British nationals returning to the UK was twice the earlier estimate, while emigration rose to three times higher than previously calculated.
Changes for non-British, non-EU nationals were minor, and it was noted that fewer EU nationals had departed than thought. Political discussions have focused on high non-EU immigration levels, prompting the Labour government to propose policies aimed at reducing arrivals.
Key revised data indicates that net immigration for the year ending December 2024 was adjusted downward to 345,000 from 431,000 due to increased British emigration. Cumulative net immigration from 2021 to 2024 is approximately 97,000 lower than earlier projections.
Additionally, cumulative emigration of British nationals was revised significantly upwards from 44,000 to 412,000, with total British emigration adjusted from 343,000 to 992,000, and immigration from 317,000 to 623,000 during the same period.

Sara Cox’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge

The total distance is equal to doing five marathons in five days.
She’ll run, jog and walk through the beautiful and challenging landscape of northern England, carrying Pudsey on a symbolic journey from border to heartland.
Sara’s adventure journey kicked off at 8.20am on Monday, November 10, 2025, from Kielder Forest on the Scottish border.
From there she’s making her way through Northumberland National Park.
Sarah will follow the River North Tyne through the small villages of Bellingham, Wark and Humshaugh, before crossing Hadrian’s Wall.
She’ll finish the first leg of her journey in the market town of Hexham after completing 27 miles of the challenge.
Sara is aiming to finish in Pudsey in Leeds on the afternoon of Friday, November 14.
But that leaves her with over a hundred still to go.
Here’s a breakdown of the full five-day route:
Day 1: Kielder Forest to Hexham

When asked if she came up with the idea for the 135-mile Great Northern Marathon Challenge, Sara told BBC Breakfast: “Did I, heck!?
“It’s quite a long way to be travelling on my own two feet! People will hopefully support and come out and donate to Children In Need, that’s the most important thing – that’s what we’re focusing on, not the drizzle.”
And reflecting on the incredible achievements of BBC Radio 2 colleagues Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay in years past, Sara added: “It’s a terrifying privilege, it’s a terrifying, scary, very tiring privilege to do this… so I’ve trained hard and I’m ready for it.
“You have no choice but to say yes because it’s a chance to raise lots of money and change lives.”
After finishing her studies at Canon Slate School, Sara decided to pursue a career in modelling.
Following her appearance in the OMD music video for Everyday, she landed her first TV role in 1996 on The Girly Show.
