San Jose Sharks coach David Quinn replaced starting goalie Kaapo Kahkonen with rookie Eetu Makiniemi to start the third period
SAN JOSE – Sharks coach David Quinn made the somewhat unexpected decision Wednesday night to replace starting goalie Kaapo Kahkonen with rookie Eetu Makiniemi.Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson scored with 34.7 seconds left in overtime to hand the Sharks a 6 loss before an announced crowd of 11,492 at SAP Center.
Nick Bonino, Timo Meier, and Logan Couture also scored, and Makiniemi, in his NHL debut made seven saves in the third period as the Sharks had their losing streak extended to four games. With James Reimer still injured and unavailable, the Finnish-born Makiniemi was recalled by the Sharks on Tuesday and backed up countryman Kahkonen on Wednesday. It was the first time Makiniemi, who replaced Aaron Dell as the Sharks’ backup goalie, had been on an NHL roster.
This goal by the Vancouver Canucks was disallowed due to goaltender interference after a coaches challenge against the San Jose Sharks in the second period at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022.
