The San Jose Sharks

ANAHEIM http://www.jetsshoppro.com/authentic-bryan-little-jersey , Calif. (AP)  were down late against the Anaheim Ducks, but their confidence never wavered.To hear Logan Couture tell it, the Sharks were too naive to be afraid against the five-time defending Pacific Division winners.”Maybe guys are just young and they don’t know better,” Couture said.Timo Meier tied it with 53.7 seconds remaining, Joe Pavelski and Couture scored in the shootout, and the Sharks rallied to beat the Ducks 3-2 on Sunday night.Martin Jones made 25 saves in the Sharks’ second straight win. Jones stopped Adam Henrique’s shot in the first round, and Rickard Rakell hit the post in the second.Couture also had a goal and an assist in regulation to help San Jose move into second place in the Pacific, two points ahead of Calgary. Anaheim is tied with Los Angeles in fourth, one point behind the Flames.”It took 59 minutes to battle back and get it to overtime, but I liked our game tonight Womens Connor Hellebuyck Jersey ,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. ”I thought we played an excellent road game considering the circumstances. It was a gutsy win.”Ondrej Kase had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who had won three straight home games. Cam Fowler also scored, Nick Ritchie had two assists and John Gibson made 37 saves.Meier positioned himself on the edge of the crease to tip in Couture’s shot and secure at least a point for the Sharks. Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was not pleased with how passive his team was during the sequence, giving Couture a chance to let the play develop and Meier to get free in front of the net.”In the situation we’re in, in my mind, we should have had more of a push on the guy that passed the puck and we should have had better coverage for the guy that tapped it in backdoor. He was wide-open and you can’t allow that to happen,” Carlyle said.”Actually, I was kind of surprised how much time I had,” said Couture, who trimmed the deficit to 2-1 at 10:56 of the third on a wrist shot into the top corner for his team-leading 23rd goal. ”I just saw (Meier’s) stick in the lane Dmitry Kulikov Jersey , and he’s a big, strong guy, so he was able to put it in the net.”Fowler’s seventh goal of the season put the Ducks ahead 2-0 at 6:28 of the third.Anaheim jumped in front on Kase’s third goal in the last four games. Kase sped in down the right boards and fired a long shot that snuck in between Jones’ legs 2:39 into the opening period.Jones seemed rattled by the play and nearly gave up another goal a minute later after losing track of Derek Grant’s shot at his own feet. But Jones settled in by making a glove save on a shot by Chris Wagner after the Sharks turned the puck over in their own zone.The Ducks had plenty of chances to extend their lead in the first. Andrew Cogliano had a look at an open net only for the bouncing puck to skip over his stick, and Rakell put a one-timer wide of goal during Anaheim’s first of two power plays in the period.Corey Perry had a power-play goal with 18 seconds remaining in the first overturned on a successful challenge by the Sharks, with defenseman Kevin Bieksa being ruled offside.”We had our chances. We had our opportunity and we lost a point, so we’re not going to get all doom and gloom,” Carlyle said.The Ducks are 9-3-1 at home since the start of December, but the Sharks have handed them two of those regulation losses. They won 6-2 at Honda Center on Jan. 21 and went 3-0-1 in the season series.NOTES: Bieksa played in his 800th career game. . Sharks RW Joel Ward (shoulder) missed his second straight game. .

He capped it by withstanding a 6-on-5 surge after Dallas pulled its goalie late in the game.“He was really good tonight,” said Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella, who has been critical of Bobrovsky at times this year. “They had some point-blank chances on some of our breakdowns, and he looked in control.”The Stars finished a 3-2-1 trip. They looked a step behind Columbus at times after losing in overtime at Boston on Monday night.“A lot of good things on this road trip from our team, but tonight we just didn’t have it,” Dallas center Tyler Seguin said. “They were winning a lot of the battles.”Anthony Duclair, Markus Nutivaara, Nick Foligno and Ryan Murray scored for the Blue Jackets.“We took advantage of a team that went to overtime last night and was probably a little tired http://www.jetsshoppro.com/authentic-jacob-trouba-jersey , but we knew we had to jump on them,” Foligno said. “They’re a skilled team. If you don’t jump on them and they get going they can make you pay. We knew we had to be physical. We knew we had to do the little things.”Ben Bishop stopped 30 shots, and Jamie Benn scored for Dallas.Duclair used a screen by teammate Boone Jenner to beat Bishop with a shot from the left circle with a minute left in the opening period, giving Columbus its first power-play goal in six games going back to Oct. 25.“It’s something we all know we’re capable of doing,” Foligno said. “It’s funny how your mind can play tricks with you. It’s nice to see guys rewarded in what’s been a tough area for us. It needs to be a big part of our success.” Nutivaara made it 2-0 with his second goal of the season in the middle of the second period, a one-timer from the right circle off a slick cross-ice pass from Artemi Panarin. Foligno rocketed a one-timer over the 6-foot-7 Bishop’s shoulder from the left dot late in the second to give the Blue Jackets a two-goal lead.Dallas scored on a power-play early in the third, with Benn getting his team-leading seventh goal of the season.Murray finished it with an empty-net goal with about two minutes left.“They did a great job in front of me,” Bobrovsky said. “It was a good team win.”NOTES: Columbus has beaten Dallas six straight times. … D Dean Kukan replaced Scott Harrington in the Columbus lineup. F Lukas Sedlak replaced Oliver Bjorkstrand. … Dallas forward Brett Ritchie missed his second straight game due to an illness. D Marc Methot missed his third game with a lower-body injury.
