SAN JOSE, Calif. -- After erasing Anaheims 13-point lead in the standings the past two months, a one-goal deficit in the third period was only a minor speed bump for Brent Burns and the San Jose Sharks. Burns scored the game-winning goal with 3:59 to play after assisting on the tying goal earlier in the third to help the Sharks take sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division for the first time in more than three months with a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night. "He is a wrecking ball," coach Todd McLellan said. "Hes a one-man wrecking crew out there when he plays that way." Joe Thornton tied the game earlier in the third and got his second assist on the game-winner for the Sharks, who have won seven of eight to move two points ahead of Anaheim although the Ducks have a game in hand. The Sharks, who trailed by 13 points after games on Jan. 15, have not been alone in first since Dec. 6. "This was something weve had our eye on for a while," forward Tommy Wingels said. "Now that weve got a grasp of it, we cant look back. Weve got to keep the pedal down and try to pull away. We worked this hard to get here, we cant give it up now." Patrick Marleau also scored and Antti Niemi made 26 saves for San Jose. Teemu Selanne and Mathieu Perreault scored for the Ducks, who have lost six of their last eight. Frederik Andersen made 25 saves. "It was a tough game but thats what happens when two good teams go at it and fight tooth and nail," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Everybody knew the importance of this game. Both teams looked focused and played to the end." Burns, who assisted on Thorntons goal, was on the receiving end on the game-winner when he crashed the net and deflected Thorntons centring pass from the boards past Andersen. "He made a good play, shot to the middle there for me and I was lucky to get a stick on it and put it in," Burns said. Burns put together a personal highlight reel in the third period, getting the assist on Thorntons goal on a 2-on-1 and then flattening Corey Perry with a hit with his backside that energized the Sharks and their loud crowd a few shifts before his game-winner. "Hes just a beast out there," Thornton said. "Nobody can handle his size and his speed. It just forces you to try to keep up with him because hes going so fast. Its great to watch." Selanne gave the Ducks the lead early in the third shortly after Anaheim killed off a San Jose power play. He started the play with an aggressive forecheck and Ryan Getzlaf took the puck away from Marty Havlat along the boards. Perry got the loose puck and his quick shot deflected off Selanne and into the net to make it 2-1. But the lead was short-lived as the Thornton line got the best of their matchup against Getzlaf, Perry and Selanne. "It was two breakdowns on us," Perry said. "They are a team that capitalizes on those things." The game had a playoff-type atmosphere as the fans at the Shark Tank were loud and on edge from the start, breaking into derogatory chants about the Ducks right after the opening faceoff. Neither team gave the opposition much space to operate in early in the game with only 10 combined shots in a tightly played first period that ended with the Sharks up 1-0. The Sharks capitalized on their one power-play chance when Luca Sbisa was sent off for roughing Tommy Wingels. Sbisa got away with one questionable hit on Wingels before shoving Wingels to the ice a second time, leading to the penalty. Thornton then sent a pass from behind the net to Marleau, who beat Andersen with a one-timer for his 29th goal. That was just the fifth power-play goal for San Jose in the past 21 games and the first point on the man advantage for Thornton in exactly two months. Anaheims struggling power-play unit struck in the second, getting the teams third man-advantage goal in the past 15 games. Selanne drew a pair of penalties from Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic to give the Ducks a two-man advantage for 6 seconds. Perreault won a faceoff from Thornton and then got in position to one-time a rebound of Perrys shot for his 15th goal just seconds after Couture left the penalty box. NOTES: Selanne, who played two-plus seasons with the Sharks, got a warm ovation following a video tribute on his last scheduled trip to San Jose. ...

One day after his 27th birthday, Eddie Lack looks like he will make his first start since a 2-0 loss to Dallas on December 17th. His last victory was a 3-0 shutout in Pittsburgh on December 4. Lack has faced the Islanders once in his career -- March 10 when New York scored seven times in the third period (six on Lack and an empty netter) -- on route to a 7-4 victory. Radim Vrbata has scored in three straight games and now has 16 goals on the season. The Canucks are hoping his scoring touch rubs off on new linemates Nick Bonino and Chris Higgins tonight. Alex Burrows returns to his familiar spot replacing Vrbata on right wing with Daniel and Henrik Sedin. The Canucks power play has exploded for seven goals in the last 16 opportunities (43.8%) over the past six games. Saturday against the Wings was the team’s sixth multi power play goal game of the season. Last season, the Canucks managed five multi-PPG games all year. The Canucks have opened the scoring in six straight games and have trailed for just 74 seconds of the last 363 minutes of hoockey they’ve played (they trailed the final 1:14 in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles on New Year’s Day).dddddddddddd The Islanders arrive in Vancouver coming off a 5-2 loss in Edmonton on Sunday night. Despite the setback in the Alberta capital, the Isles are 7-2-1 in their last 10 and still share the NHL lead for wins (26) with Anaheim, Chicago and Montreal. This is the middle game of seven straight away from home. Former Canuck Michael Grabner returns tonight after missing nine games with a lower body injury. He is expected to be slotted in on the team’s top line with John Tavares and Kyle Okposo. Josh Bailey will be a healthy scratch. Jaro Halak gets the start in goal. He is 18-3 in his last 21 decisions. The Isles are led in scoring by John Tavares who makes just his third visit to Vancouver. He missed last year’s game with a knee injury suffered at the Sochi Olympics. As a 19-year-old, Tavares had two goals and five points in his first ever game against the Canucks in Vancouver. Like the Canucks, the Isles power play is red-hot, going seven for its past 20 (35%) and scoring two power play goals in three of the past four games. The Isles are a remarkable 17-2-1 in one-goal games. They are 7-2 in regulation, 4-0 in overtime and 6-1 in shootouts. The Islanders have the league’s top two hitters – Matt Martin leads the NHL with 177 hits, while Cal Clutterbuck is second with 158. Derek Dorsett is tops on the Canucks with 84.
