Misa’s OT goal caps Sharks comeback against Jets
Will Smith scored the tying goal early in the third period for the Sharks (29-25-4), who were coming off a 5-4 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday after going 0-4-1 in their previous five games. Alex Nedeljkovic made 27 saves in his first start since Jan. 31.
Morgan Barron scored the lone goal for the Jets (23-26-10), who were coming off a 5-4 overtime loss at the Anaheim Ducks on Friday. Hellebuyck made 31 saves.
“I thought the first period we had a few high turnovers coming into their zone. I thought in the second we were a lot better in that,” Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel said. “Bad start in the third period. For our veteran group to let that happen, that was embarrassing.”
Barron gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead 2:44 into the first period. While skating down the left wing on a 2-on-1, Barron beat Nedeljkovic over his glove.
“Just a great play by my wingers to blow it up after I lose a face-off. All of a sudden, they turned a lost face-off for us into a win,” Barron said.
