Eklund's goal came in the first period, and then MacDonald extended the Sharks' lead in the second, where Calgary came in to tie it 2-2. Nazem Kadri cut it and Rasmus Andersson tied it.


   The third period had been scoreless as they remained stuck in the 2-2 tie, heading into overtime to determine the game-winner. In overtime at 2:02, Andrei Kuzmenko called game on a power play when he collected a rebound close to the left post and scored past Mackenzie Blackwood. He currently has 11 points during a six-game point streak (five goals, six assists). The Sharks were outshot in both the third and overtime 18-4.
