They’ll get to spend some more time ruminating over the last-second loss, after Vladimir Tarasenko scored a goal with just over three seconds remaining in the third period that was reviewed for goalie interference. The goal was good, though it looked on the replay like Tarasenko might have pushed Justin Bailey into Mackenzie Blackwood before the game-winner.
But tellingly, that wasn’t the story post-game.
Instead, it was another listless effort by San Jose, who got outshot 41-18. So despite Anthony Duclair, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Kevin Labanc, and Filip Zadina scoring and being just five seconds away from a not-so-hard-earned overtime point, head coach David Quinn didn’t care.
