The Shars have taken their losing streak earlier in the season and made it a positive note because it has become a launching pad for an 8 game winning streak. The Sharks notched win number 8 tonight against the hometown Ducks in a 6-2 game. The first period was a draw with both teams unable to score. Teemu Selanne wasted no time in the second though by scoring 7 seconds in and that lead would last until late in the 2nd where the sharks managed to slide a couple past Kirk McLean but Teemu tied it up with a crash the net goal to take it into a 2-2 3rd period. The Sharks exploded out of the gates in the third with 2 goals in the first two minutes and potted home two more against an offensive minded Ducks team. Pierre Turgeon had another hat trick tonight and Jimmy Carson got back on track with a 1 goal, 3 assist performance.

"We had a real tough game on our hands tonight and thankfully we had a real strong 3rd period to carry us home to the victory, give a lot of credit to the Ducks for how hard they worked, if a few bounces had gone their way we could have been on the opposite side of a 6-2 loss," said Mark Recchi.

With 8 wins in a row, the sharks will try to extend their streak against the Montreal Canadiens in a home and home series.
