SAN JOSE — The Sharks couldn’t overcome a barrage of penalties Thursday night as they allowed a go-ahead power play goal late in the second period of a 4-2 loss to the Florida Panthers at SAP Center.
With the score tied 2-2 and the Sharks serving a bench minor for too many men on the ice, Mike Hoffman’s slap shot from just inside the blue line beat Sharks goalie Martin Jones high to the glove side with 1:11 left in the second period. Florida came into Thursday with the second-best power play in the NHL at 27.1 percent.
