Leo Carlsson scored 46 seconds into the extra session for a 7–6 victory for the Ducks.
“Super fun hockey game,” said Carlsson. “Back and forth. I love a comeback win, so it was great.”
It was the Sharks’ second straight overtime loss.

“That’s more than a wow,” Quenneville said. “You don’t expect to come back like that. I thought we played well the whole game. We fought back from a two-goal lead earlier in the game when we thought we played pretty well. We stayed with it until the end of the game and got rewarded.”
Peter Mrazek made 17 saves in the win.
The Sharks took a 2-0 lead on goals Tyler Toffoli And Ryan Reaves.
