SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks allowed three goals in the first eight minutes of the third period and saw one of their top forwards, Tomas Hertl, leave early with an injury in a 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday at SAP Center.
The Sharks entered the third with a 2-1 lead, but the Canucks got goals from Tyler Myers, Jake Virtanen and Brandon Sutter in a span of 5 minutes and 36 seconds to take the lead for good.

Virtanen’s go-ahead goal at the 7:00 mark of the third period came on the power play, as Marc-Edouard Vlasic was assessed a double-minor for high-sticking Oscar Fantenberg at the 4:47 mark.
