In what was one of their best offensive performances of the season, Saturday’s game against the Sharks also represented more of the same from a Coyotes team that has consistently allowed big goals at the end of a period.
The goal in question on Saturday was a particular big one, and certainly the most pivotal score in a game that featured a combined 11 goals. With the Coyotes leading 5-4 with 15 seconds left in regulation, Sharks forward Joonas Donskoi sent the game to overtime where the Sharks eventually sent their fans home happy with a 6-5 overtime victory in San Jose.
