Sharks beat Avalanche in OT, lose defenseman to injury
"SAN JOSE Philipp Kurashev scored at the 1:48 mark of overtime to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday at SAP Center. Kurashev took pass from Alexander Wennberg, went in and beat Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood with a shot to the glove side as the Sharks improved to 4-2-0 their last six games after a 0-4-2 start. They now play the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday in the second of back-to-back games on home ice."
"The Avalanche got that goal back just over five minutes later in somewhat disputed fashion. Nathan MacKinnon got behind the Sharks' defense and was in alone on Askarov. He went forehand to backhand to try and beat Askarov right before Sharks winger Jeff Skinner lost an edge and crashed into the net. MacKinnon put the puck across the goal line after the net had been knocked off."
