Patrick Marleau has winner as Sharks top Jets 4-3; San Jose wins six straight
WINNIPEG — Peter DeBoer got another opportunity to heap praise on veteran forward Patrick Marleau.
Marleau scored the game-winner with 4:33 left in the third period as the San Sharks extended their win streak to six games with a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
Marleau, 37, was the hero again a night after he scored four goals, including the winner, in the third period of San Jose’s 5-2 victory over Colorado on Monday. He now has 498 NHL career goals.
“He’s a special player,” coach DeBoer said of the 19-year veteran. “He’s had an unbelievable career and he looks like he’s still got a lot of gas in the tank.”
