WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- San Jose coach Peter DeBoer got another opportunity to heap praise on veteran forward Patrick Marleau.
Marleau scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:33 left in the third period to lift the Sharks to a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night for their sixth straight win.
"He's a special player," DeBoer said of the 37-year-old Marleau. "He's had an unbelievable career and he looks like he's still got a lot of gas in the tank."
Marleau got the game-winner for the second straight night after he scored four goals in the third period of San Jose's 5-2 win over Colorado on Monday.
