Dan Boyle scored the go-ahead goal on a power play 6:15 into the second period, and Evgeni Nabokov made 28 saves to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.

Manny Malhotra scored on a breakaway with 2:35 left and Jamie McGinn made it 4-1 on a scramble in front 13 seconds later for San Jose. Frazer McLaren also scored his first NHL goal for the Sharks, who have won four of their last five games and lead the league with 40 points.

Kyle Wellwood scored two minutes in and set up Jannik Hansen's meaningless goal with 6.3 seconds left in the game, and Roberto Luongo made 26 saves as the Canucks, playing for a second straight night, lost for just the second time in six games.

Coyotes 3, Ducks 2, OT

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- James Vandermeer scored his second goal of the game at 1:18 of overtime, Matthew Lombardi also scored and Robert Lang had two assists, leading the Phoenix Coyotes to a victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

Ilya Bryzgalov made 26 saves against his former team, helping end the Ducks' season-best three-game winning streak.

Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan scored for Anaheim, and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 23 saves after getting his 32nd career shutout Friday night in a 3-0 win over Chicago.

Anaheim's Corey Perry extended his point-scoring streak to 18 games with an assist on Ryan's tying goal with 1:54 left in regulation, breaking the previous franchise record set in 1999 by Teemu Selanne.
