NEWARK –- Patrick Marleau and Adam Henrique scored in regulation, but the Sharks grabbed the extra point in the shootout to remain perfect on the season on Friday in New Jersey, with a 2-1 victory over the Devils.
Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns converted in the skills competition to give the Sharks their fourth straight win to open the season.
Marleau’s early first period goal, his third, was the only scoring until late in the third. The winger took a pass from Joel Ward and whacked it through Cory Schneider at 2:01, with new center Tomas Hertl getting the secondary assist.
