Takeaways: ‘Selfish play’ costs Sharks in OT loss to Sabres

BUFFALO — The Sharks weren’t happy with their 4-3 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. They weren’t terribly upset, either.

Just like their meeting with the Sabres on Saturday at SAP Center, the Sharks showed some resiliency in the third period to tie the game as Erik Karlsson scored his first of the season with 8:33 left in regulation time. Buffalo’s Jeff Skinner gave the Sabres a 3-2 lead just 45 seconds into the third period.

“Right after we gave up the goal right after that first shift, I thought we had a pretty good 10-15 minute span and got rewarded to get a point out of that one,” Sharks captain Logan Couture said.
