Oshie opened the scoring at 11:49 of the first period by flicking the puck past Niemi from the doorstep, but Karlsson and Pavelski tallied 40 seconds apart late in the session to put San Jose ahead.

Jaskin chased Niemi with a turnaround shot from along the right-wing boards at 4:58 and Oshie completed his hat trick while on the man advantage at 9:16, when his pass attempt from the left side of the crease caromed off Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic's skate and in.
