Sharks comeback falls short; Flyers win 4-3 in shootout

The San Jose Sharks came back from a 3-0 deficit, but ultimately fell 4-3 in a shootout on Monday.

Erik Johnson, Travis Konecny ​​​​and Matvei Michkov scored for the Flyers. Michkov’s goal was his fifth of the season and he scored in the shoot-out. Samuel Ersson started and made 27 saves.

Jack Thompson scored his second NHL goal. Mikael Granlund and Barclay Goodrow scored the other goals for the Sharks. William Eklund had two assists and had a huge impact on the game. Vitek Vanecek made 39 saves.

Will Smith returned from a development day and was moved to the wing on the Sharks’ third line. This is the first time he has played on the wing in his young NHL career.

Johnson joined the Flyers rush and made the Sharks pay for leaving Will Smith to cover Jan Rutta at that point. Johnson and the Flyers had an odd rush and made a cross-ice pass to set up the goal.

Johnson would then fight Givani Smith in the ensuing showdown.

Konecny ​​made the Sharks pay with a power play goal with 4:04 left in the first, making the score 2-0 Flyers.

Michkov is sent into a breakaway and he beats Vanecek in five holes to make it a 3-0 match.

William Eklund made a great play on the backcheck and then drove the puck to the net to find Thompson to make it a 3-1 game.

Eklund makes another fantastic move with a back-to-the-corner pass to Granlund, who shoots in a goal to make it 3-2.

Goodrow tied the game with 2:24 left in the third with a slap shot from the wing.

Konency wins it for the Flyers.
