SAN JOSE - Matt Tennyson and Barclay Goodrow scored within 34 seconds of each other midway through the third period to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
Logan Couture and James Sheppard also scored for the Sharks, who won their season-best fourth straight and eight of nine overall.
Steven Pinizzotto and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored a couple of minutes apart in the second period to give the offensively challenged Oilers a 3-2 lead. Boyd Gordon, in his first game since returning from a back injury, also scored.
Edmonton scored three goals for the first time in 10 games but still fell a fifth straight time in San Jose. The Oilers have not won when scoring at least three goals since Nov. 9, a span of 19 games. Edmonton has scored a league-low 69 goals.
Antti Niemi saved 25 of 28 shots for the Sharks to remain undefeated (5-0-1) against the Oilers in San Jose.
Scrivens stopped 26 of 30 shots as Oilers interim coach Todd Nelson saw his bid for a victory in his second game at the helm fall short.
