Christian Ehrhoff gave the Sharks their first lead with a slap shot with 5:51 to go in the period and Joe Pavelski added a power-play goal for a 5-3 lead at the second break.
Greir scored the first of two third-period goals 6:03 into the period and 83 seconds later Marleau converted a pass from Joe Thornton, who had four assists. Both those goals were in power plays.
