Sharks outlast struggling Blackhawks

Hockey Betting Lines

02/11/2012 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Benn Ferriero's goal early in the third period proved to be the winner, as the San Jose Sharks kept the Chicago Blackhawks reeling with a 5-3 victory at HP Pavilion.

Justin Braun, Dan Boyle, Joe Thornton and Jamie McGinn also tallied goals for the Sharks, who snapped a two-game losing streak.

Antti Niemi stopped 30-of-33 shots for the win.

Marcus Kruger scored twice, while Bryan Bickell also lit the lamp for Chicago, which had its season-long losing streak reach seven games.

Corey Crawford allowed all five goals on 27 shots to take the loss.

San Jose held a 3-2 lead entering the third period, but Dave Bolland slid a pass from the left corner to the right circle through the legs of a Sharks defender that was one-timed home by Bickell to knot the game at three 2:15 into the final stanza.

Ferriero then put San Jose back on top at the 5:40 mark when he finished off an offensive flurry with a quick shot from the crease that snuck by Crawford.

McGinn gave the Sharks a little insurance with 5:56 left in regulation while on the power play by grabbing a pass to the right of the net before moving the puck from his backhand to his forehand and lifting a shot over the goaltender's right shoulder.

A pair of power-play goals by Braun and Boyle in the first period sent the Sharks into the first intermission with a 2-0 lead.

The Blackhawks, though, battled back to tie the game when Kruger was able to clean up a pair of rebounds early in the second period.

But San Jose took a 3-2 advantage into the end of the second thanks to a fortuitous deflection.

After the Sharks' Patrick Marleau failed to get the handle on a cross-ice pass in a 2-on-1 rush, Thornton attempted a centering pass from the right of the net that deflected off the stick of San Jose's Dylan Olsen and slid through the legs of Crawford.
