The San Jose Sharks currently on a three game skid took a loss the hard way on Monday night at SAP Arena in a one goal 3-2 shootout loss. The Anaheim Ducks who came calling had got a nine round shootout win with a center Antoine Vermette game winning goal. The Ducks played their tenth straight one goal game it was nine rounds before Vermette got the game winner.

Also believe it or not that was the Ducks goalie Reto Berra’s first NHL win in two years so he made up for a lot loss time. The Sharks tried to end the game in regulation they outshot the Ducks in third period and just couldn’t put away the winner and prevent the Ducks from forcing overtime. The Sharks are now 6-6 at home and they’ve got some road games coming up with Arizona on Wednesday and Las Vegas on Friday.
