Patrick Marleau's fourth goal of the season put the Sharks in front 6-4 early in the third period, but Joffrey Lupul scored for the second time in the game to draw the Flyers within one.
Daniel Briere produced a power-play goal with 65 seconds remaining in regulation to tie it.
San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov allowed six goals on 29 shots during regulation and overtime, but stopped the only two attempts he saw in the shootout to ensure the victory.
Marleau scored twice and had two assists.
