Joonas Donskoi scores late in third to lift Sharks over Flames 3-2
CALGARY — Joonas Donskoi made an immediate impact in his return to the San Jose line-up.
Donskoi scored the winner with 2:48 left in the third period and also had an assist to lead the Sharks to a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames.
“He was awesome,” exclaimed Sharks coach Peter DeBoer. “He was on the puck all night, hounding it, carrying it, making plays. I thought he was one of our better players.”
On the deciding goal, Joe Thornton’s shot was stopped, but with the puck lying loose between Mike Smith’s pads, Donskoi was able to poke it over the line for his eighth goal.
