Edmonton opened the scoring with 5:17 remaining in the first period, when Gordon slid a backhander under Niemi's left pad from the right faceoff circle. San Jose grabbed the lead in quick fashion early in the second as Sheppard converted a feed from behind the net by Goodrow at 5:51 and Couture found the top left corner of the net from the right circle 1:45 afterward.

The Oilers answered quickly, with Pinizzotto scoring off a scramble in front 47 seconds after Couture's tally and Nugent-Hopkins knocking in a rebound in the crease 1:36 later for a 3-2 edge. Tennyson forged a tie during a power play 8:29 into the third with a shot from the right circle and Goodrow put the Sharks ahead by beating Scrivens on a breakaway while fighting off defenseman Justin Schultz.
