RALEIGH, N.C. — The Sharks are no longer perfect in overtimes and shootouts this season.
Andrei Svechnikov scored in the third round of the shootout and Logan Couture could not answer at the other end as the Sharks lost 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday at PNC Arena.
The Sharks entered Thursday with a 5-0 record when games entered overtime. But after both teams failed to score in the five-minute extra session, both Kevin Labanc and Erik Karlsson could not score in the first two rounds of the shootout.
Dougie Hamilton and Nino Niederreiter also could not score on Aaron Dell on their shootout tries before Svechnikov scored on his attempt.
