SAN JOSE, Calif. Cheap Jerseys From China . -- Playing a last-place team with a rusty goaltender on the back-end of a back-to-back appeared to be the perfect recipe to get the San Jose Sharks back into first place in the Pacific Division. Instead they delivered a dud of a performance that left them on the outside of the playoff picture with just 10 games remaining in the season. Bobby Ryan had a goal and two assists and Jeff Deslauriers won in his first game in more than two months as the Anaheim Ducks dealt a blow to San Joses playoff hopes with a 5-3 victory Monday night. "The lack of energy and jump that we had as a team was baffling," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "It really is. When were supposed to be as desperate as we are apparently. I cant figure out why we didnt have that jump. Some nights when you dont have it you have to rely on your hockey sense and your brain to put you in position to be successful. We didnt have that going either." Francois Beauchemin, Corey Perry, Nate Guenin and Kyle Palmieri also scored and Nick Bonino had a career-high three assists for the last-place Ducks, who had lost five of six to all but end a late-season playoff push. "Our team has a lot of pride, weve played hard from January on," coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Whenever you can derail a California team -- you like to do it." Marty Havlat, Ryane Clowe and Joe Pavelski scored for the Sharks, who missed a golden opportunity to improve their playoff positioning on a night their rivals were idle. San Jose entered the night in ninth place in the Western Conference but could have moved into third position by taking the Pacific Division lead with a win. But they were unable to against a struggling Ducks team on the back end of back-to-backs starting a goalie who hadnt played an NHL game since Jan. 10. The Sharks struck first but twice allowed Anaheim to score the shift after a San Jose goal to lose for the third time in three home games this season against the Ducks. The Sharks have little margin for error if they want to avoid missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2002-03 season. "Its disappointing," captain Joe Thornton said. "We could have hopped over a bunch of teams tonight but thats sports. Its unfortunate we just didnt win. We cant feel sorry for ourselves. We have to go to L.A. and play hard tomorrow." San Jose is tied for ninth place with Los Angeles, one point behind division leaders Dallas and Phoenix. They have a game in hand over the Coyotes and two games in hand over Colorado, who are tied for seventh in the conference. The Sharks fell behind in a lacklustre second period, giving up the lead when Perry outraced Havlat and Marc-Edouard Vlasic to knock in the rebound of Ryan Getzlafs breakaway attempt. Nate Guenins big shot from the point midway through the period made it 4-2, ending Antti Niemis night with four goals on 26 shots. The Sharks got right back into the game when Pavelski tipped Brent Burns point shot past Deslauriers for his career-high 26th goal of the season. The good feeling lasted only 33 seconds as Palmieri knocked his own rebound past Thomas Greiss from a bad angle to restore the two-goal advantage heading into the third. "It happened twice. That was the frustrating part," Clowe said. "Its tough to say what happens on those shifts." The Sharks put some pressure on Deslauriers in the third but couldnt get one past him as he finished with 27 saves. Deslauriers got just his second start of the year for Anaheim as Jonas Hiller got the day off after starting a club-record 32 consecutive games. Deslauriers stopped 26 of 28 shots in a 5-2 win over Dallas on Jan. 10, but had not played since being called up from the minors on Feb. 14. "Its been a long time," Deslauriers said. "My role is to be ready all the time. My role is too support Jonas. ... I was pretty excited to get the start. The good thing about not playing all the time is that you do a lot practice on the ice and in the gym. I was in shape. I wasnt out of breath." The teams alternated goals in a wide-open first period that ended with the score tied at 2. The Ducks answered Havlats early power-play goal on the next shift when Ryan knocked in a rebound of Palmieris shot after Jason Demers struggled to play a bouncing puck for San Jose. Havlat then set up Clowe in the slot for an easy one-timer that made it 2-1. But Burns took a bad interference penalty leading to Beauchemin equalizer with 2:08 left in the period. Notes: Hillers streak of games started was the longest for any goalie since Niemi started 34 straight last year for the Sharks. ... Clowe had his second three-point game of the season, also recording three assists in a loss at Phoenix on Feb. 4. ... Guenins goal was his first since the season opener against Buffalo in Finland.

Winnipeg got out of the post-Olympic starting blocks quickly with a 3-2 shootout win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night as Wheeler scored his 23rd goal of the season. "A vast percentage of the league is going to be pretty rested after a 2 1/2-week break," said Wheeler, who played for the United States in Sochi, but saw limited minutes as the Americans 13th forward. "I think its an all-out sprint. Theres no time to be tired." Wheeler was joined on the score sheet by Bryan Little. Olli Jokinen put away the shootout winner in the fourth round for Winnipeg (29-26-6). Devin Setoguchi also beat Coyotes goalie Mike Smith in the shootout, while Antoine Vermette was the only Coyote to solve Ondrej Pavelec. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Martin Hanzal scored in regulation for Phoenix (27-21-11) in the first game for both teams after a 19-day break for the Winter Olympics. The Jets continued their winning ways under new head coach Paul Maurice, improving to 10-3-1 since he replaced the fired Claude Noel. Despite some less-than-crisp play, the coach said he was pleasantly surprised by how well his team played after such a long layoff. "It was tough at times, but just from the stuff I watched the last two days (around the league), it was a better game than I thought I was going to see," Maurice said. Winnipeg pulled within one point of the Coyotes as both teams chase a wild-card playoff spot, although Phoenix has two games in hand. Dallas sits in the final spot with 66 points, one better than Phoenix and Vancouver, and two ahead of Winnipeg. Pavelec made 34 saves for the Jets, with two of his toughest stops coming in overtime. "It wasnt an easy game for both teams. It was the first game back and we didnt know what to expect a little bit," said Pavelec, who stopped Mike Ribeiro to end the shootout. Smith stopped 27 shots for the visitors, including a pair of scoring chances in the final seconds of regulation. "For the most part I felt not too bad," said Smith, whho was a member of Canadas gold medal-winning team in Sochi but didnt see any playing time. Wholesale Jerseys. "But like I said, it doesnt matter how you feel, you need to come out on the better side of things." Hanzal put away a rebound to tie the game at 2-2 with Jets centre Jim Slater in the penalty box 6:40 into the third period. Winnipeg took advantage of a giveaway by Coyotes defenceman Zbynek Michalek to take the lead late in the second period. With Ekman-Larsson in the penalty box, Little intercepted Michaleks pass in the low slot and beat Smiths glove hand to make it 2-1. The teams wasted no time reminding fans of one of the differences between international hockey and the NHL game. Winnipegs Zach Bogosian and Phoenixs Rob Klinkhammer dropped the gloves just 78 seconds into the game after Klinkhammer shoved Bogosians defence partner Toby Enstrom into the boards. The Coyotes opened the scoring with an Ekman-Larsson wrist shot from the high slot that went in off the post 12:17 into the first period. It took the Jets less than three minutes to respond, as Wheelers shot from the corner hit Coyotes defenceman Michael Stone in the leg and bounced into the net. Smith was distracted earlier in the sequence by Winnipeg forward Dustin Byfuglien, and the Coyotes argued for an interference call. Smith and Coyotes coach Dave Tippett both said they disagreed with the non-call in their post-game comments. "Personally, I think if theres incidental contact in the net and then the puck goes in after, it shouldve been not a penalty, but it shouldnt have been allowed," Smith said.
