SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — James Reimer earned his third shutout of the season as the San Jose Sharks beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 on Tuesday night to stop a nine-game losing streak.

Reimer stopped 41 shots, including a diving paddle save with 3:40 left in the second period. Noah Gregor, Kevin Labanc and Martin Kaut scored for San Jose.

Connor Hellebuyck made 26 saves for the Jets, who went 0-for-3 on the power play.

Winnipeg holds the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference by just two points over Calgary and three over Nashville, which has two games in hand.

Sharks forward Jacob Peterson made a nice play behind the net by faking one way and going back the other to find Gregor in front. It was Gregor’s fifth goal of the season, and he extended his point streak to three games.
