SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Joe Pavelski scored a goal in regulation and then fired in the winner in a shootout Monday to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 3-2 win over Phoenix.

Evgeni Nabokov had 31 saves and Devin Setoguchi scored a goal for the Sharks, who won their fifth straight game while stopping a three-game Phoenix winning streak.
