Sharks/Stalock gave up two in the first (including one on a bad bounce on what should have been an icing), but battled back to take the lead by the middle of the third, only to have the Wild tie it up and send it to OT. Vlasic was the OT hero again, with a late GWG, giving the Sharks two more points (and allowing them to keep climbing the standings).
