The Sharks scored first and also last in a game where high-scoring is probably a bit of an understatement. Players from both teams contributed hat tricks to the final 7-6 overtime score with Tomas Hertl cashing in his third for the game winning goal.
Hertl has now scored two hat tricks in the space of a week and has 41 points so far this season. He joins Evander Kane, Erik Karlsson, Timo Meier, Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture, and Brent Burns as the seventh Shark with 40 or more points.
Joe Pavelski got the Sharks on the board in the first minute, but eight minutes later Alex Ovechkin scored his first of the night.
