Max Jones, Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg scored for Anaheim.
The Ducks finished a five-game homestand with a 0-3-2 record.
“We clearly didn’t get enough points (on the homestand),” Rakell said. “Going on the road here, we know there are lot of tough teams we are playing. We’re just going to have to find a way to win games.”
Brent Burns, Evander Kane and Logan Couture added single markers for the Sharks.
“I thought in the third we found another level, our entire team,” Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer said.

“We really got to bear down and get that next one,” Ducks forward Adam Henrique said. “It seems like, in a few of these games, where we’re up one. … we’ve got to be able to step on their throat kind of thing.”
