Sharks had a slow start, fell behind in the first. But rallied to lead in the second, only to fall behind (again). In the final frame, the Sharks physicality finally came out and the Sharks scored two to win, holding off the Oilers late in the third (missed icing with 1.7 seconds notwithstanding).
Matt Tennyson notched his first NHL goal, the first former Junior Shark to do it for the NHL Sharks.
Sharks are now second in the Pacific Division with 40 points.
