The Carolina Hurricanes fell behind, 1-0 in the opening period but scored three straight goals to defeat the San Jose Sharks, 3-1 on Thursday night at the SAP Center.
It was the team’s eighth consecutive win.
The Sharks scored shorthanded when the puck got past Brent Burns. The defenseman made a valiant effort to break up the play and dove on the ice to stop a potential pass. Instead, he tripped William Eklund, who fell into Frederik Andersen in net.
The continuation of the play knocked the net off its’ mooring, but the puck crossed the goal line before the net fell off, so the goal counted.
