Joe Pavelski scored twice for the Sharks, who lost their second straight. Timo Meier also scored, and Martin Jones made 28 saves.
”It was a tough game, a tale of a bunch of different games,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. ”I loved our first period but we came out with nothing to show for it. You play like that Authentic Manny Ramirez Jersey , you should come out in front. We didn’t and that hurt.”

”We came out sleeping tonight,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. ”They dominated that first period. Coming out of that 1-1 was a big break for us.” Pavelski put San Jose in front 4:40 into the game. He redirected a hard shot from Brent Burns into the net.

Meier tied it again midway through the second after knocking in a puck that bounced off Fleury’s shoulder pads from a Burns shot.
”We played in their zone a lot,” Meier said. ”We just didn’t play our game for 60 minutes. They’re good off the rush and they take advantage of what you give them. We gave them too much. It hurts to lose a game like that.”
Pavelski gave the Sharks a 3-2 advantage midway through the third, but McNabb evened things two minutes later. That set up Neal’s winning goal off a nice pass from David Perron.
”I managed to get the puck and heard Perry calling for it behind me,” Neal said. ”I dropped it off and he made a great play to get it back to me and give me a chance to get a good shot off. I just tried to get it off quick.”
Marchessault added an empty-net goal with 81 seconds remaining.
