What was a strong start slowly deflated as the Colorado Avalanche once again struggled to capitalize in overtime, losing to the San Jose Sharks 3-2.

Kurashev took pass from Alexander Wennberg, went in and beat Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood with a shot to the glove side as the Sharks improved to 4-2-0 their last six games after a 0-4-2 start. They now play the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday in the second of back-to-back games on home ice.
