SAN JOSE -- The Sharks erased a two-goal deficit, but saw their five-game winning streak come to an end in a shootout on Monday at SAP Center, 4-3.
The Sharks trailed 2-1 entering the third period, but Logan Couture’s second of the season tied it up. Joel Ward battled for a loose puck and managed to slip it to Couture, who hissed a wrist shot through Craig Anderson at 2:47 of the final frame.
That set up what was arguably the prettiest San Jose goal of the season. Joonas Donskoi handled a Chris Tierney feed between his legs in the high slot, and sent a pass through the seam to Matt Nieto, who went to his backhand and deposited the puck past a sprawled out Anderson at 7:54.
