Sharks 5, Oilers 2: Joe Pavelski registered his fourth two-goal performance of the season - and second in four games - as San Jose earned a split of the home-and-home series.

Logan Couture recorded a goal and an assist while rookie Barclay Goodrow and defenseman Brent Burns also scored for the Sharks, who had their four-game winning streak snapped with a 2-1 loss at Edmonton on Sunday. Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau each notched a pair of assists and Alex Stalock made 25 saves as San Jose kicked off its five-game homestand in impressive fashion.

Jordan Eberle and David Perron tallied for the Oilers, who lost for the 12th time in 13 games (1-8-4). Ben Scrivens turned aside 19 shots as Edmonton was denied its first winning streak since Nov. 7-9.

Pavelski and Goodrow scored 56 seconds apart early in the first period to give San Jose a 2-0 lead, with Pavelski putting a spinning backhander from the right faceoff circle into the top left corner of the net at 4:33 and Goodrow burying a rebound on the doorstep for his first NHL goal. Eberle halved the deficit at 12:08 and Perron took a cross-slot pass from Teddy Purcell and beat Stalock from the left hash marks 4:07 later to knot the contest.

Couture snapped the tie 6:14 into the second, tipping defenseman Scott Hannan's shot from the left point past Scrivens. Pavelski restored the two-goal advantage during a power play 81 seconds later as he converted Marleau's touch pass from below the left circle and Burns sealed the win with a shot from the right point with 5:29 left in the third.
