SAN JOSE — Tomas Hertl and Timo Meier both scored and Aaron Dell finished with 33 saves as the Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday, their first victory under interim coach Bob Boughner.
Meier’s goal at the 7:09 mark of the third period came off an assist from Evander Kane, whose empty-netter with 1:21 left in regulation time proved to be the winner after Canucks forward Bo Horvat scored with 27.6 seconds left.
Kane’s goal was his 14th of the season, as the Sharks snapped a six-game losing streak. Logan Couture scored with eight seconds left to seal the win.
