ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Although the San Jose Sharks have bigger accomplishments in mind for this season, at least they finally figured out how to beat the woebegone Anaheim Ducks. Brad Winchester and Benn Ferriero scored 27 seconds apart in the second period, and the Sharks topped Anaheim for the first time in four tries this season, 3-1 Wednesday night. Joe Pavelski also scored and Antti Niemi made 26 saves in his 13th consecutive start for the Sharks, who were inexplicably mastered in their first three meetings with the Ducks, who sit 29th in the NHL standings. San Jose couldnt score for the first 36 minutes, but Winchesters shot off the post and Ferrieros hustle play in front of Jonas Hillers net erased an early deficit and sent the Ducks spiralling to their seventh loss in eight games. "We were able to generate some momentum there, and we played a lot tighter game," said Winchester, the former Ducks forward. "We played a lot better against them than we played the first three times." San Jose nudged back into first place in the Pacific Division with the victory. Although the Sharks are still on pace for their eighth consecutive season with at least 99 points, captain Joe Thornton thinks they need more of these consistent efforts. "Against Hiller, we realize its very difficult to score on this guy," Thornton said of his former teammate in Switzerlands top league. "So getting that first one by him got us some confidence ... and we banged another in, so thats a huge momentum swing for us. Youve just got to stick with it. We realize were a good team. If we keep (opponents) to one or two goals, we have a good chance to win." The Sharks doubled Anaheims shot total but couldnt score until Winchesters shot pinballed off the iron and barely crossed the goal line with 3:37 left in the second period. New Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau frequently has lamented the way Anaheims shoulders slump after giving up a goal, and Ferriero capitalized on that tendency by corralling a loose puck in front and flinging it past Hiller moments later. "Theres just no resiliency, I guess would be the best word," Ducks forward Bobby Ryan said. "Obviously, you get down (after allowing a goal), but that shift that follows has to be the best shift of the game, and we give up another goal. As a team, throughout the year theres been a sense that if they get one, something bad is going to happen." Shortly after San Jose killed a power play, Pavelski gave some cushion to the Sharks with 7:17 to play when Hiller yielded an atrocious rebound of Thorntons shot, allowing Pavelski to score his 16th goal into a nearly open net. Corey Perry scored for the Ducks, who have lost 11 of 14 since Boudreau replaced Randy Carlyle. "I told them, I know its no consolation, but thats maybe the hardest youve worked since (their last two victories)," Boudreau said. "Thats something thats got to be commonplace. That cant be something you just do when youre playing a team after hard practices for two days. You have to have the will to do that every day." Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlafs scoreless slump reached a career-worst six games in the Ducks third straight loss to start a six-game homestand. Getzlaf, the Canadian Olympian and former 90-point NHL scorer, hasnt scored a goal in 12 games, with just two since Oct. 29. The seven-year NHL veteran also has dropped to a minus-19 rating. "I think hes pressing," Boudreau said. "I thought he worked really hard tonight. You could see the strain a little bit on his face. He knows he hasnt been scoring. He knows hes the captain, and he puts a little bit too much pressure on himself. I told him to not worry about that. Just worry about his game and not anybody elses at this stage." Perry scored his 15th goal just 2:37 in, ending a four-game pointless streak when Andrew Cogliano collected a turnover and fed him in front of the net. The reigning NHL MVP is only slightly off the pace he set during his 50-goal campaign last season, when Perry scored his 15th goal on Dec. 12. He had 20 in early January last season before scoring 20 more goals in the Ducks final 22 games. Hiller stopped 33 shots for Anaheim, which didnt get a noticeable boost from left wing Jason Blakes return from a 34-game injury absence. Blake hadnt played since Oct. 14, when Sharks defenceman Brent Burns skate inadvertently caused severe tendon damage in the 38-year-old veterans left arm late in Anaheims third game of the season. The Ducks season unravelled shortly after the second-line forward underwent surgery, and two Anaheim coaches have been forced to mix and match left wings with Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu.
