Craig Anderson stopped all 51 shots the San Jose Sharks tossed his way.

The Sharks were much more successful shooting on their own net.

Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle flicked a backhand meant to go around the boards past his own goalie, Evgeni Nabokov, 51 seconds into overtime as the Colorado Avalanche pulled off an improbable 1-0 victory in Game 3 of the first-round series in Denver on Sunday.

"To be honest with you, I really don't know what happened," said Boyle, whose team enters Tuesday's Game 4 down 2-1. "It was pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a player, to put it in your own net."
