SAN JOSE — For all the blame Patrick Marleau has shouldered for past postseason failures by San Jose, it was only fitting that his winning goal helped the Sharks avoid their biggest collapse yet.

DETROIT — San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan refused to get excited about an impressive win against the Western Conference-leading Detroit Red Wings. McLellan has been fooled by the Sharks too many times this season. Logan Couture had two goals, including the go-ahead tally 8 seconds after Niclas Wallin scored, to lift San Jose to [...]
SAN JOSE — Pavel Datsyuk is usually the one providing the jaw-dropping, highlight-reel goals for the Detroit Red Wings. This time, his linemate got into the act.

SAN JOSE — Joe Pavelski entered the postseason for the San Jose Sharks with the nickname “Little Joe,†which made sense considering he played on the same team as Jumbo Joe Thornton. With seven goals in seven playoff games, the Sharks’ 5-foot-11 forward is now being called the “Big Pavelski.†“If you followed the team [...]
SAN JOSE — Joe Pavelski got the San Jose Sharks off to a fast start in the game — and for a change, a playoff series. Pavelski scored the first of three goals in a 1:19 span in the first period and added a second power-play goal early in the third to lead San Jose [...]

GLENDALE, Ariz. — While on their way to 50 wins and their first playoff berth since 2002, the Phoenix Coyotes were labeled a feel-good story and a Cinderella. They believe a Game 7 win Tuesday will show they’re much more. “We just don’t want to be, ‘Oh, this is a nice story.’ We want to [...]
