Brent Burns scored in overtime helping the Sharks overcome a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Maple Leafs in Toronto, in a back-and-forth game at Air Canada Centre on Thursday night, 5-4.
Burns’ wrist shot from the top of the circle deflected in off of Toronto’s Peter Holland, giving the Sharks their sixth straight win in Toronto. They improved to 2-0 on a five-game road trip, and are 12-5-1 on the road.
Leading 3-2 after the second, the Leafs scored their fourth consecutive goal at 1:59 of the third. Michael Grabner’s original attempt hit Brenden Dillon’s skate between the circles, but the Toronto forward stayed with the puck and made it 4-2.
