Sharks 4, Coyotes 2: Joe Pavelski capped his fourth career hat trick with an empty-net goal as visiting San Jose rallied to defeat Arizona and give Todd McLellan his 300th coaching victory.

Rookie Barclay Goodrow’s goal 6:23 into the third period snapped a 2-2 tie and Pavelski sealed it with 1:26 remaining. Joe Thornton collected three assists and Antti Niemi turned aside 34 shots while helping to set up a goal for San Jose, which won for only the second time in seven contests.

Pavelski’s bad-angle shot caromed in off defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s skate 27 seconds into the second period and roofed a shot from the right circle on the power play at 13:09 to tie it 2-2. Goodrow beat Smith short side from the right circle on the rush to give the Sharks the lead.
