The Wild may be atop the NHL with their new additions, but the Sharks are doing just fine with theirs, thank you very much. It was an old hand – specifically, a former captain – in a Sharks uniform that brought them to victory on Sunday.
1 Patrick Marleau, San Jose Sharks – Marleau tallied his fourth career hat trick as the Sharks stormed past the Colorado Avalanche 4-1. Joe Pavelski tallied the other Sharks goal and Marc-Edouard Vlasic had three assists for his second straight three-plus point game. Thomas Greiss stopped 36 of 37 shots for the win.
2 Cory Schneider, Vancouver Canucks – Schneider stopped 28 of 29 shots to give the Canucks a 2-1 overtime win over the Ottawa Senators. Henrik Sedin scored in regulation for the Canucks while Chris Higgins tallied the overtime game-winner.
3 Brad Stuart, Detroit Red Wings – Stuart scored twice for the Red Wings, who kept the ball rolling by beating the Ducks 4-2. Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen also scored for Detroit and Jimmy Howard stopped 32 of 34 shots.
