SAN JOSE — The Sharks knew they weren’t going to have an easy time with the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday after the three previous meetings between the two teams this season were all decided by one goal.
The Sharks also didn’t have to peer too long into their crystal ball to know that hostilities could arise at any time.
After a contentious first two periods, the teams trading goals in the third and a terrific glove save by Martin Jones in overtime, the Coyotes outscored the Sharks 2-1 in a shootout and beat the Sharks 3-2 at SAP Center.
