Sharks let game get away from them in Game 5 overtime loss to Oilers
EDMONTON — It was a game that got away on the San Jose Sharks.
After establishing a 3-1 lead late in the second period Thursday night, the Sharks looked like they would be going home with a chance to close out their Western Conference quarter-final series against the Edmonton Oilers.
Mikkel Boedker, Patrick Marleau and David Schlemko found the back of the net to give the Sharks a two-goal advantage.
However, a late second period power-play goal from Mark Letestu allowed the Oilers to stay within striking distance and, with just 2:46 remaining in the third period, Edmonton tied it up on a goal by Oscar Klefbom.
