SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Ryane Clowe scored twice and Rob Blake recorded four assists as the San Jose Sharks remained unbeaten at home, dominating Washington 7-2 Saturday.

Patrick Marleau, Devin Setoguchi, Joe Thornton and Marc-Edouard Vlasic racked up a goal and an assist each, and Brian Boucher was solid in net with 19 saves as the Sharks improved their home record to 11


1 and their NHL-best overall record to 17-3-1.

Tom Poti and Tomas Fleischmann recorded the Capitals' goals and Brent Johnson allowed all seven goals on 28 shots in the club's third loss in four games.

The Sharks put the game away early with three goals in the span of 6:32 of the first period. Marleau tallied at the 9:13 mark -- his 10th of the season -- and Clowe followed roughly 3 1/2 minutes later with his 10th. Setoguchi finished the rally on his 12th goal.
