Dallas Stars fans are shaking their heads after a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. The Stars blew two goal leads in both the first and third periods, gave up four power play goals, and now sit at just one win in six overtime games this season.

It was a point they probably wish they never earned. The game started strong for Dallas with a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Justin Furkawian scored unassisted early, and Jason Robertson added his 26th goal right before the end of the first.

They grabbed a 3-2 edge late in the second on Kyle Capobianco's smart transition play, and Mikko Rantanen pushed it to 4-2 in the third with some slick hands at the net, but penalties killed them. Issa Lindell and Ilya Lubushkin hooked and tripped into power plays that San Jose cashed in on, tying the game late in regulation.

Both goalies stood tall at times, sending it to overtime where the Stars controlled the puck early. Then disaster struck. Rantanen took an ill-advised penalty, leaving Dallas down four on three, and Tyler Toffoli buried his second goal of the night for the winner.

75.226 - 93.286

Coach Glenn Glutzen called out the six penalties, especially stick fouls, saying they need better legs and discipline to beat a fast Sharks team. The Stars thought they fixed these issues with a 4-1 win at Washington midweek, but the problems resurfaced in a 1-4-3 slide over their last eight games.
