SAN JOSE –- For the third time this week, the Sharks found themselves trailing by a goal after two periods to the Vancouver Canucks.
This time, though, they couldn’t complete the comeback.
Vancouver scored three times on the power play, including the game-winner by Dan Hamhuis at 10:28 of the third period, to down the Sharks at SAP Center on Saturday night, 4-2.
A few minutes after Brent Burns knotted the score at 2-2, Hamhuis easily tapped in a pass through the slot by Bo Horvat with Joonas Donskoi off for tripping.

The Sharks saw their three-game winning streak snapped, and dropped to six points behind Anaheim, which took over sole possession of first place in the Pacific Division with a win over the Kings earlier in the day.
