SAN JOSE, Calif. – Sharks coach David Quinn made the somewhat unexpected decision Wednesday night to replace starting goalie Kaapo Kahkonen with rookie Eetu Makiniemi.
Quinn’s move no doubt provided a bit of a spark but didn’t result in a Sharks win.
Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson scored with 34.7 seconds left in overtime to hand the Sharks a 6-5 loss before an announced crowd of 11,492 at SAP Center.
