Capitals 5, Sharks 4: Shocking ending dims otherwise solid road effort

WASHINGTON — The Sharks picked up a point off of the best team in the NHL. Their power play struck for two goals as their top scorer has started to find a rhythm. They’re still enjoying their best road trip of the season.

Those were the positives from the Sharks’ 5-4 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals on Sunday at Capital One Arena. But in a season filled with disappointing results, especially in the first half, this one may have stung the most.

Error 0:

The Sharks blew a two-goal lead late in the final minute of the third period, and lost in overtime as Lars Eller beat Martin Jones at the 2:01 mark of the extra session.
