{Sharks} {NHL}

By Jeremy Kahn

After trailing 2-1 midway thru the third period, the San Jose Sharks needed to do something big and it was the combination of Joe Thornton and Brett Burns to get them back into the game.

Thornton made a great pass to Burns, who put the shot passed Corey Crawford to tie up the game, sending the game into overtime and ultimately a shootout.

It was in that shootout that Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored, while Sharks goalie Alex Stalock continued his perfect streak in stopping shots and the Sharks defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 at the United Center.

This was the first win by the Sharks against the Blackhawks in Chicago since December 30, 2010.

Jason Demers put the Sharks on the board in the first period, but the Blackhawks lit the lamp twice in the second period on goals by Niklas Hjalmarsson and Michal Rozsival.

It was the first goal of the season for Rozsival, and his first since March 1, 2012, while playing for the Phoenix Coyotes.
