~ By Pearl Allison Lo

~ After a 2-0 loss to the last-place Detroit Red Wings, San Jose was triumphant over the fifth-place Pittsburgh Penguins Thursday in overtime 3-2.

Known for his ferocity on the puck, Brent Burns channeled his attempt to shoot through traffic. It was a combination of Sharks showing their assets as the feed came from now the 7th all-time assists leader Joe Thornton. His 1,080th helper ended San Jose’s five-game losing streak on the road. 

Penguins’ defenseman Kris Letang tripped Logan Couture 46 seconds into the extra period, setting up a 4-on-3. Burns lost the puck.

Interim Head Coach Bob Boughner took out Erik Karlsson and Couture to bring in Thornton and Kevin Labanc.

The Sharks’ Aaron Dell in net was one shy of his season-high 37 saves. 

San Jose emerged with a 2-1 lead after the first despite being outshot 15-8.

Tomas Hertl started things going at 2:48. Burns found him at the bottom of the right faceoff circle and Joel Kellman, a game removed from his first NHL goal, earned his first NHL assist.

Pittsburgh’s Patric Hornqvist had his team’s two scores of the night after getting a goal and an assist in his previous game. Hornqvist’s first goal tied the game at 16:51 when he single-handedly took a loose puck into the net.

Couture fired back one minute later. Teammate Patrick Marleau got to the Penguins and the pucks twice while they were heading through the neutral zone, setting up a 2-on-1 which Couture finished. 

Boughner went even younger, citing Patty’s “25-year-old legs” after the game. 

At 16:17 of the second, the Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin was called for interference, but it became 4-on-4 less than a minute later when Barclay Goodrow was sent to the box for tripping. Hornqvist used the 30-second window Pittsburgh had with the advantage to tie the match 2-2 six seconds after the power play expired. 

Up Next: The Sharks will now gear up to face the Columbus Blue Jackets early Saturday at 10am.

#2 Looking back on their loss to the Los Angeles Kings last Friday at SAP Center the Sharks had a 2-0 lead and watched the Kings scored three unanswered goals to come back on the Sharks for a 3-2 win does a loss like that take the wind out the Sharks sails which resulted in getting shutout by one of the worst teams in the NHL Detroit.

#3 With all the problems that the Red Wings have San Jose put those problems on hold as the Wings got scoring help from Tyler Bertuzzi and Filip Hronek with a goal in the second and third period.

#4 Since the coaching change from Peter DeBoer to Bob Boughner, Boghner has gone 1-5 was this team primarily damaged goods when Boughner took over, do they lack their old soul after former Sharks Joe Pavelski, Gustav Nyquist, Justin Braun, and Joonas Donskoi  left the team in the off season?

#5 The Sharks head to Pittsburgh to face the Penguins (23-11-4) who have a three game win streak, the odds are not looking to good but the Sharks to respond to adversity in spite of not being able to hold leads in the third period
