When a team is in a long losing skid, sometimes it takes mistakes by the opposition to get that streak-busting win.
Joe Pavelski scored once and added an assist as the visiting Sharks beat Montreal 3-1 on Tuesday night to snap a six-game skid.
Montreal head coach Michel Therrien thought his team handed the Sharks a victory.
“We gave them three goals,” Therrien said. “They didn’t have to work for those three goals. That’s the way I see it. I’m really disappointed to give up three goals like that.”
Patrick Marleau and Dainius Zubrus also scored for the Sharks.
