Anaheim came up with a pair of goals in the tie-breaking overtime shootout, and defeated San Jose 6-5 Tuesday in an NHL Pacific contest at SAP Center.

After the scoreless overtime period, Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry scored for the Ducks in the shootout, while Logan Couture had the San Jose goal. But Anaheim goaltender Anthony Stolarz turned away shots by Erik Karlsson and Kevin Labanc, earning his fifth win of the season.

The Sharks (3-8-1) forced the extra period at 17:38 of the third period on Karlsson’s third goal of the game and his ninth of the season, with assists on the equalizer by Alexander Barbanov and Tomas Hertl. Anaheim had pulled Stolarz in favor of a sixth attacker.

It was the first three-goal game of Karlsson’s career, and the first ever by a Sharks defenseman. A true hat trick is three uninterrupted goals within one period.

At 11:31 of the third period, Anaheim (3-5-1) took a 5-4 lead on a goal by Max Comtois.

San Jose tied the game at 4-4 with a pair of goals by Timo Meier in the second period. Meier’s first goal was a 4-on-3 power-play tally with assists from Barabanov and Karlsson at 3:28 with the Ducks’ Max Jones serving a 2-minute minor for holding the stick at 3:05. Twenty-eight seconds later San Jose’s Luke Kunin and Anaheim’s Nathan Beaulieu were serving 5-minute majors for fighting.

Meier’s second goal, and third of the season, was unassisted at 15:31. He was credited with the goal after the Ducks’ Jakob Silfverberg accidentally sent the puck into his own net.

In between Meier’s goals, Ryan Strome notched his second goal of the season for Anaheim at 15:10.

Adam Henrique scored his first two goals of the season for Anaheim, helping the Ducks build a 3-2 lead in the first period. Henrique’s first tally at 5:16 opened the scoring, followed by a pair of goals by Erik Karlsson to give the Sharks a 2-1 lead.

Karlsson’s first goal was assisted by Evgeny Svechnikov and Hertl ay 6:18, with his second goal of the period and eighth of the season coming 23 seconds later on assists by Jaycob Megna and Nico Sturm.

Frank Vatrano tied the game at 2-2 for Anaheim at 10:52, and Henrique’s second goal came with 15 seconds remaining in the period to give the Ducks a one-goal lead at the first intermission.

Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen had 39 saves.

San Jose hosts the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
