Nikolaj Ehlers conceded he messed up — big time.
A risky pass by the Winnipeg Jets winger was intercepted in the San Jose zone, a couple of talented Sharks forwards, Timo Meier and Joe Pavelski raced away, and the rest, as they say, is history.
"Obviously, a dumb mistake at the end," the 23-year-old said Wednesday after the Jets finished practising.
Pavelski scored on the two-on-one break with 4.3 seconds left in regulation time to lift the visiting Sharks to a 5-4 triumph over the Jets on Tuesday.
