SAN Jose and Nashville delivered another typically tight NHL game on Tuesday with the Sharks coming out on top 3-2, thanks to Patrick Marleau's overtime goal.
Marleau's 27th of the season at 3:24 in overtime gave the Sharks a 2-2 season series split with Nashville with all four contests decided by a single goal. "I think we expect every game to be close like this now, but we're finding ways to win," San Jose winger Ryane Clowe told reporters. "We had some really good chances in the third period. Their goalie made some good saves."
Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne made 30 saves, including 13 during the scoreless third period.
Pacific Division leader San Jose (39-22-6) has now won nine of its last 10 games and moved two points behind the second-placed Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference.
The Predators (33-24-10) are one point out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the West after their seventh loss in nine games.
"We were a little bit tired," said Predators coach Barry Trotz after his team completed a four-game road trip. "We've played teams that have been good and hot. Obviously we'd like to get a few more points, but we're going home now."
Clowe opened the scoring at 8:17 in the first before Nashville's Joel Ward made it 1-1. Justin Braun put the Sharks ahead again early in the second but Shea Weber tied the game 2-2 less than two minutes later.
In Arizona, Dan Hamhuis scored twice, including the winner with 2:47 left in overtime, to lift the NHL-leading Vancouver Canucks to a 4-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.
In other NHL action, it was: Canadiens 4, Bruins 1; Penguins 3, Sabres 1; Panthers 3, Blackhawks 2; Flyers 4, Oilers 1; Wild 5, Avalanche 2; Islanders 4, Maple Leafs 3, OT; and Senators 2, Devils 1.
