SAN JOSE — Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Garbutt’s first period goal in the Ducks’ 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks gave the Sharks a flashback to a memory that they’d like to forget.
Ryan Garbutt came down the right wing with speed, and Sharks defenseman Brent Burns pushed Garbutt into a collision with goaltender Martin Jones. The puck went into the net as the result of the collision, and upon further review and amidst a coach’s challenge, it was determined the puck crossed the line before the net was dislodged.
Sharks center Logan Couture said it reminded him Joe Pavelski’s disallowed overtime goal in game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Nashville Predators, which he said was overturned for the reason Garbutt’s goal was upheld.
