SAN JOSE — Joonas Donskoi did almost everything he could Monday night — including scoring an all-too-rare Sharks power play goal — to help his team come away from a three-game homestand with at least something to show for their efforts.
Donskoi opened the scoring against the Anaheim Ducks with a first period goal on a nifty individual effort, helped send the game into overtime with a power play goal at the 8:19 mark of the third period, then scored in the third round of the shootout.
In the ninth round of the shootout, though, after each team had scored three goals, Tomas Hertl missed his attempt and Antoine Vermette beat goalie Martin Jones to give the Ducks and exhausting 3-2 win.
