The Mets lost 5-1 in Phoenix due to missed plays and limited hitting, with defensive errors at third base compounding offensive struggles.
Seemingly in control of their game with the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night with a two-goal lead, the Sharks allowed third-period goals to Zeev Buium and Joel Eriksson Ek, whose goal with 2:18 left - after Minnesota pulled goalie Jesper Wallstedt for the extra attacker - helped force overtime. The Sharks' trio of William Eklund, Alexander Wennberg, and Timothy Liljegren then could not get off the ice in 3-on-3 overtime as the Wild controlled play and changed their skaters multiple times.
"It's been about resilience," Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase said. "We're down players, but that's what I love about this team. It's not just the next one woman up mentality."
