Rickard Rakell had two goals and an assist for
Anaheim, and Adam Henrique also tallied. Troy Terry and Cam
Fowler each contributed two assists, and John Gibson made 23
saves.
Kevin Labanc, Timo Meier and Justin Braun scored for the Sharks,
who lost their fifth straight game. Marc-Edouard Vlasic was
credited with two assists, and Aaron Dell stopped 17 of 21
shots.
The Sharks, who have already clinched a playoff berth, are four
points behind the Calgary Flames in the race for the Western
Conference's top record. The Ducks won for the third time in
four games.
Three times the Sharks rallied from one-goal deficits, but it
wasn't enough.
Silfverberg took a drop pass at the San Jose blue line from
Rakell in overtime and skated to the top of the faceoff circle,
where he was left an open shot by two defenders. Silfverberg put
a wrister into the top left corner of the net, over Dell's
blocker.
Rakell opened the scoring at 7:58 of the first period, taking a
pass from Silfverberg and putting a shot from the left faceoff
circle over Dell and into the roof of the net.
The Sharks tied it at 1-1 at 2:29 of the middle period. Labanc
took a pass from Vlasic and beat Gibson with a wrist shot.
The score remained tied until the third period, when Henrique
scored on a power play at 2:41 off a pass from Terry.
The Sharks tied it at 6:29 on a power-play goal by Meier.
Rakell put the Ducks ahead for the third time with a power-play
goal at 15:05 off assists from Fowler and Terry.
The Sharks again tied it, this time at 17:20. The puck took a
lively bounce off the end boards and back in front of the net
for Braun, who hammered it home before Gibson could react.
