Sharks Beat Ducks In Possible Playoff Preview

SAN JOSE (CBS/AP) -- Devin Setoguchi scored the tiebreaking goal on the power play with 5:21 remaining and the San Jose Sharks rallied from an early two-goal deficit to beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-2 on Saturday night in a possible playoff preview.

Patrick Marleau scored twice, including an empty-netter, and Dany Heatley added his 25th goal for the Sharks, who trailed 2-0 after one period before coming back for their seventh win in eight games. San Jose remained a point ahead of Detroit for second place in the Western Conference with four games remaining, reaching the 100-point mark for the fifth consecutive season.

The Sharks can clinch the Pacific Division by beating Los Angeles at home Monday night.

Bobby Ryan and Lubomir Visnovsky scored for the Ducks, who had won seven of eight to move into seventh place in the conference.
