Hertl scores in 4th straight game, Sharks top Oilers 6-3
SAN JOSE, Calif. — San Jose hit rock bottom early in its six-game homestand. The Sharks closed it out with two of their most impressive wins.
Tomas Hertl scored and extended his point streak to four games on his 26th birthday, Evander Kane added his team-leading 11th goal of the season and the Sharks beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-3 on Tuesday night.
“I couldn’t get a better birthday present than a huge win over Edmonton,” the native of the Czech Republic said.
Brent Burns, Patrick Marleau, Barclay Goodrow and Timo Meier scored as San Jose matched its season-high goal total. Erik Karlsson had three assists as the Sharks (8-10-1) wrapped up their homestand with their fourth straight victory after losing seven of eight.
