In a battle for position in the middling yet jam-packed Pacific Division, the Sharks moved ahead of Arizona with a 3-1 win at Gila River Arena on Thursday night.
The Sharks (24-18-3, 51 points) improved to 6-0-1 in their last seven games, and are tied with Vancouver for second place in the division. San Jose has three games in hand on Vancouver, though.
Arizona (22-19-5, 49 points) dropped its fourth straight (0-3-1).
The Sharks scored twice in the first period.
Tommy Wingels got it started with just his second goal in the last 22 games.
