Anaheim came up with three goals in the tie-breaking overtime shootout, backed by a stellar effort from goaltender Anthony Stolarz, and defeated San Jose 5-4 Tuesday in an NHL Pacific contest at SAP Center.

It was the Ducks’ second overtime win over San Jose in the last five days.

Trevor Zegras, Mason McTavish and Adam Henrique, who scored the game-tying goal late in the third period, scored the shootout goals for Anaheim (4-7-1), Kevin Labanc and Nick Bonino scored goals in the shootout for San Jose (3-8-3).

Stolarz stopped a career-high 48 of 52 San Jose shots in 64 minutes and 18 seconds. Sharks netminder James Reimer made 21 saves on 25 shots.

Trailing 4-2 midway through the third period, Anaheim scored twice in the final four minutes to force overtime. The Sharks’ Tomas Hertl scored his second goal of the season on an assist from Timo Meier at 9:33 of the third period.

At 15:58 of the third period, Mason McTavish tallied for Anaheim, and, at 18:32, Henrique notched the equalizer for the Ducks.

Kevin Labanc’s second goal of the season at 3:54 of the first period opened the scoring. The Ducks responded with goals by Brett Leason at 12:06 and Max Comtois at 17:20, taking a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.

The Sharks surged ahead 3-2 in the second period with goals by Meier, his fifth of the year at 8:09, and a power-play goal by Luke Kunin at 16:35. Erik Karlsson extended his point streak to five games with the assist on Kunin’s goal.

San Jose was 1-7 on the power play, while the Ducks were 0-3.

After a five-day break, the Sharks start a five-game road trip on Friday at St. Louis, followed by stops at Dallas, Minnesota and Vegas,
