Edmonton, Alberta -- Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored second-period goals Saturday, keying the San Jose Sharks' 6-1 rout of Edmonton.

After they had spotted the Oilers a 1-0 lead in the first frame, the Sharks reeled off six unanswered goals to win going away.

Dany Heatley's power play goal tied it with less than 4 minutes remaining in the first, and Couture and Pavelski (two assists) extended San Jose's lead in the middle stanza.

Ryan Clowe, Dan Boyle and John McCarthy each found the net in the third period to complete the rout and Antero Niittymaki stopped 21-of-22 shots in San Jose's win.

Jordan Eberle got a shorthanded tally for the Oilers' only score.

Denver -- Joe Pavelski broke up a deadlocked game with two second-period, power-play goals Thursday, sending San Jose past Colorado 4-2.

It was the first meeting of the Sharks and Avalanche since San Jose knocked Colorado out of the last season's playoffs in the opening round.

Pavelski scored 1:08 into the second to give the Sharks a 2-1 lead and added a power-play tally at the 8:44 mark. They were the first two goals of the season for Pavelski, who had 25 of them in each of the last two seasons.

Milan Hejduk brought Colorado within one 7:25 into the third, but Logan Couture scored into an empty net with 1:12 to play to clinch it.

The Sharks halted a three-game losing streak.

San Jose, Calif. -- San Jose goaltender Evgeni Nabokov stopped all 27 shots Saturday as the Sharks shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0.

Nabokov earned his second shutout of the year while sparking the Sharks to their seventh win in eight games in a lop-sided affair in which Joe Pavelski, Dan Boyle and Manny Malhotra each notched a goal and an assist.

The Sharks' other goals came from Dany Heatley and Jamie McGinn.

San Jose's stifling defense kept Penguins star Sidney Crosby from scoring in the fourth straight game Crosby has gone without a point.
