SAN JOSE, CA - Joe Pavelski's return from a broken foot provided a jolt to the San Jose Sharks and helped deliver a convincing victory over the Stanley Cup champions.
Pavelski had a goal and an assist in his first game back from the injured list, Evgeni Nabokov made 27 saves in his 49th career shutout and the Sharks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins for the seventh straight time at home, 5-0 Saturday night.
The Sharks played back-to-back games against the Stanley Cup finalists, losing a shootout in Detroit on Thursday before dominating champion Pittsburgh. San Jose led 4-0 less than 4 minutes into the second period, outshooting a Pittsburgh team missing star center Evgeni Malkin and defenseman Sergei Gonchar 17-3 at one point.
Team Teal continues their homestand against Nashville Tuesday night at 7:30.
