Nabokov is listed as day-to-day following his injury at the end of San Jose's 5-4 shootout win over St. Louis Thursday. He seemed to stretch awkwardly on the final play of the game, when he turned away Patrik Berglund on the Blues' final shootout attempt.

Marleau's game-winner Saturday night, his seventh goal of the season, was unassisted.

Dan Boyle put the Sharks up 1-0 at 7:13 of the first period with his third goal of the season, with assists from Marleau and Joe Thornton.

Loui Eriksson's sixth goal, with an assist by Steve Ott at 3:41 of the third, tied the game 1-1.

Marty Turco made 31 saves of 33 shots for the Stars.
