Allowing six goals on 22 shots isn’t an effective way to win hockey games, as it turns out. The Sharks learned that the hard way Wednesday night in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers. San Jose hasn’t won in overtime since beating the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 in overtime on Jan. 21.
That string of bad luck in the extra period includes last night’s loss, the it-was-4-1 loss to Buffalo and a Mike Smith-led defeat to Arizona. Go back one further than the win against Colorado and you’ll find the Sharks lost that game to the Los Angeles Kings, too.
