Sharks Come Back Late Again, But Fall Short in Vegas Shootout

2 in: Zadina goes coast-to-coast. A taste of the skill.

Marchessault goal: Not much you can do there. Addison makes the right play, but can’t keep the puck in. It’s a 2-on-1, Thrun takes away the pass. Marchessault just beats Kahkonen one-on-one.

Sturm high sticking: Oh man, tough with San Jose Sharks with all the OZ momentum. Yes, that’s a real sentence. Inadvertent penalty.

Zetterlund PK: Gotta re-watch, he was a force out there.

10 in: Like that Hoffman effort to draw the call.

Barabanov on PP1 in Eklund’s place, with Hertl-Granlund-Zetterlund-Addison. Then MacDonald-Labanc-Bailey jump on, but not entire unit comes out. Maybe Hoffman out too? MacDonald chance, off Zetterlund, under duress, pass. Confident play.

7 left: Kahkonen bails out Okhotiuk. Okhotiuk misses the puck coming down the slot, 2-on-1 the other way. That was ugly.

Stephenson goal: San Jose Sharks weren’t going to keep getting away with these penalties. Nice misdirection, Stone steps toward net, Ferraro flashes toward him, but Stone goes back to point, Stephenson circles behind Ferraro.

Sharks still playing well, VGK 6-5 Slot Shots, 4-3 High-Danger at ES. They’re in it.

Period 3

Duclair done for night.

McNabb goal: Starts with an ugly neutral zone turnover from Labanc. Then Remenda is right, not great Sharks defensive coverage. Okhotiuk maybe respecting Stone too much, for one. Then they lose McNabb. Looks like Barabanov isn’t covering anyone.

Bailey draws another penalty. He’s done a very good job of that, being a load to play against, playing hard, plus big and fast.

Granlund leads the five-forward Sharks power play. Hertl-Zetterlund-Barabanov-Labanc on it.

Hoffman goal: Well Quinn wanted Hoffman to shoot more. Didn’t say how or from where. Pure luck, but you take it.

Marchessault goal: But then the Golden Knights get some bounces. Earned though.

9 in: Sharks push back though, pretty Hertl pass to Zadina. Zadina getting another chance higher in the line-up. Addison-MacDonald-Zadina-Hoffman-Sturm?

8 left: Aggressive kill by Thrun in corner, you like to see that, kill that play.

5 left: 3-minute shift for Burroughs there. Do Sharks have more comeback magic tonight?

Addison goal: Great battle from Zadina on the other side to win the puck one-on-one. He might deserve a higher role at this point.

Hoffman goal: Great work by Bailey all shift. All over the place. Just awesome pass from Hertl.

Sharks do finish over .500 on this road trip. Unbelievable, considering where they started.

OT

Granlund-Sturm-Ferraro to start. Zetterlund jumps on quick for Sturm, maybe just a faceoff thing.
