Ty Dellandrea and Tyler Toffoli each scored and Mackenzie Blackwood finished with 36 saves but the San Jose Sharks lost 3-2 in a shootout against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, denying Ryan Warsofsky his first NHL coaching victory.
All three Stars shooters scored in the shootout, while Mikael Granlund was the only Shark to score on Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger.
The Sharks led 2-1 late in the second period before Stars forward Roope Hintz scored at the 17:12 mark to tie the game. Blackwood made 12 saves in the third period to help send the game to overtime. Oettinger finished with 25 saves, including 11 in the third period and two in overtime.
The Sharks went 4-for-4 on the penalty kill but were once again let down by their power play, which went 0-for-3 against the Stars. That includes a 5-on-3 chance early in the third period when San Jose had a two-man advantage for 96 seconds but had just one shot on net.
The Sharks are now 1-for-8 on the man advantage this season and have lost three games by a combined four goals.
“I mean, our power play sucks,” Toffoli told reporters after the game. “It’s pretty straight up there.”
The Sharks (0-1-2) continue the trip this week with stops in Chicago on Thursday and Winnipeg on Friday.
