Sharks beat Jets 4-1, win for 3rd time in four nights
Jets defenseman Tyler Myers was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct late in the third period Tuesday night, and the Sharks took advantage in a 4-1 victory.
Joe Pavelski scored his 22nd goal of the season on that power play, and Chris Tierney had a shorthanded goal and an assist as San Jose earned its third victory in a span of four nights.
Myers was called for cross-checking and got the game misconduct when he banged forward Tommy Wingels in the head after Wingels checked him hard into the boards with seven minutes to go in the third and the Sharks up 2-1.
Nikolaj Ehlers had the lone goal for Winnipeg on a power play in the first period.
On another critical call, Jets forward Blake Wheeler appeared to tie the game 2-2 after Myers’ penalty when Stalock fell coming out of his crease on a clearing attempt.
With the Sharks on a long 5-on-3, Pavelski took a pass from Tierney and fired a sharp-angle shot by Hellebuyck with 4:01 remaining.
Jets head coach Paul Maurice held back his frustration with carefully chosen words.
