In Anaheim Sunday, Timo Meier struck for his second goal of the game in extra time to rescue the San Jose Sharks in a 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Martin Jones made 27 saves to help the Sharks improved to 6-3-2.
“It was a big win by us,” Meier said. “We had a tough schedule last week. We stuck with it, we stayed positive, and got two huge points.”
Logan Couture and Rourke Chartier also scored for the Sharks.
“We have to come to work again. It’s all about buying into our system and doing the things we want to do, having fun again, and trying to play hockey at a high level,” Ryan Getzlaf said after the game.
Getzlaf has two goals and four points in his first two games back to the lineup this season.
Pontus Aberg potted two goals and Josh Manson scored a single marker for the Ducks who dropped to 5-5-2 after their fifth straight loss.
“Even though we played well in the third, there are things we can do a lot better,” Manson said. “We’re still giving up a lot of shots. We have to get to the bottom of that.”

John Gibson made 45 saves in the loss.
“I think we scored three good goals,” San Jose defenseman Erik Karlsson. “We could have had a few more. [Gibson] is a great goaltender, and you know, he sees the puck and he is going to make saves.”
