A six-game San Jose Sharks homestand ended with a third-period collapse and another frustrating loss.
After losing a two-goal lead late in the third period, and following a scoreless overtime, the Sharks were outscored 3-2 in the shootout and lost 5-4 to the Anaheim Ducks before a sellout crowd of 17,562 at SAP Center.Leading by two, the Sharks allowed two goals in the final 4:02 of the third period, as Mason McTavish scored on a breakaway after he served a penalty and Adam Henrique scored with 1:28 to go after the Ducks pulled goalie Anthony Stolarz for the extra attacker.
Tomas Hertl scored his second goal of the season in the third period, snapping a 12-game goal drought, and James Reimer had xx saves as the Sharks finished their homestand with a 2-2-2 record. Meier’s goal, his fifth in five games, was a blistering one-timer past Stolarz and tied the game 2-2. Kunin then snapped an 11-game goal drought with a power play goal with 3:25 left in the second period.
Brett Leason scored at the 12:06 mark to tie the game off a pass from John Klingberg, and Max Comtois scored off a saucer pass from Trevor Zegras, after he got behind the Sharks’ defense, to give Anaheim a 2-1 lead at the 17:20 mark. “You’ve just got to take away time and space and you can’t give them an inch, because if you do, you’re gonna pay,” Sharks coach David Quinn said of playing star players. “We’ve got to make sure we just bear down from a defensive standpoint, regardless of who we’re playing.”Prior to Saturday, the only other player in Sharks history to have more than 18 points in the first 13 games was Craig Janney, who had four goals and 15 assists in that time to start the 1995-96 season.
