Vitek Vanecek Sharp In Overtime Loss
San Jose Sharks goaltender Vitek Vanecek stopped 33 of the 35 shots he faced during his overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Monday evening. Vanecek held the Jets off the scoresheet through the majority of the contest. However, in the final minute of the third period, defenseman Josh Morrissey found the back of the net to force overtime. In overtime, Winnipeg center Mark Scheifele beat Vanecek on a backhand to seal the victory. This was a strong outing for Vanecek as the Sharks were heavily outshot in this contest. This outing extended his losing streak to three games. However, he has made at least 25 saves in two of them and allowed two goals or less in two as well. The 29-year-old was on injured reserve during most of January with a face injury. Across 17 games, Vanecek has held a 3-9-3 record with a .882 save percentage and a 3.87 GAA.
