Connor McDavid’s OT goal hands San Jose Sharks a frustrating loss

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Connor McDavid scored on a breakaway at the 31-second mark of overtime, taking an outlet pass from goalie Mike Smith and beating James Reimer with a backhand shot to give the Edmonton Oilers a 2-1 win over the Sharks at SAP Center.

The goal was McDavid’s 41st of the season, as the Sharks fell to 0-2-1 in three games against the Oilers this season.

The Sharks were nearly perfect on the defensive end for the first two-and-a-half periods of Tuesday’s game. The only issue was their inability to add to a one-goal lead after Tomas Hertl scored on the power play in the first period.
