Shutout Streak vs. Shootout

It's time to put on you pretend hats, kids...

A goalie is riding a long shutout streak (say, Steve Mason for the Jackets was up until last night).

The Jackets/Avalanche game goes into OT 0-0. Through 5:00, no goals, so they go to a shootout 0-0.

Colorado wins in the shootout.

Should that count as the end of the streak since the winning goal isn't officially counted against Mason's GAA?

Discuss.
