WINNIPEG Adidas Matt Hunwick Jersey , Manitoba (AP) — Joe Pavelski knows the San Jose Sharks caught a break at the right time.The Sharks were short-handed for a second time in overtime against Winnipeg on Tuesday night, and then Jets forward Patrik Laine had the puck knocked away by San Jose defenseman Brent Burns.Burns passed the puck to Pavelski, who fired the winning shot over Connor Hellebuyck’s glove at 2:49 of the extra period to give the Sharks a 3-2 victory.“We get a turnover on the (penalty kill) there in overtime and we were able to finally catch them,” said Pavelski, who scored his 29th goal of the season and added an assist.Logan Couture and Marcus Sorensen also scored for San Jose. Couture extended his point streak to four games, with three goals and three assists.Kevin Labanc contributed a pair of assists and Martin Jones stopped 25 shots for the Sharks Adidas Jeff Skinner Jersey , who won their third straight to start a four-game trip.Blake Wheeler and Mathieu Perreault scored for the Jets, and Hellebuyck made 35 saves. Winnipeg had its three-game winning streak halted and its run of seven consecutive victories at home stopped.“(Hellebuyck) made some unbelievable saves tonight to give us a chance,” Wheeler said. “That was a nice shot (by Pavelski).”Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer had high praise for the winning play.“The pass Burnsy gave to Pavelski was world class, and it was a rocket,” DeBoer said. “And the way Pav handled it and stuck it in the net was world class, so that’s what great players do.”Winnipeg had a power-play goal by Mark Scheifele wiped out midway through the second after Boer successfully challenged for offside. It would have given Winnipeg a 3-1 lead.“Obviously Adidas Tage Thompson Jersey , getting the goal called back hurt,” Wheeler said. “That’s the difference in the game right there.”Perreault’s 11th goal of the season, and 300th NHL point, gave Winnipeg the 2-1 lead 52 seconds into the second. Tyler Myers picked up an assist, extending his point streak to four games, with one goal and three assists.Sorensen’s 11th of the season tied it at 2:35 of the third when he flipped a puck bouncing in the crease into the net.Winnipeg got its fourth man advantage with 1:35 remaining in regulation and carried it over into overtime. Soon after it was over Adidas Rasmus Andersson Jersey , the Sharks were called for too many men 1:20 into the extra time.Jets head coach Paul Maurice, 52, reached a milestone by becoming the youngest coach in NHL history to hit 1,500 games (682 wins), and the sixth coach to achieve the mark.“It was a nice lead-up to the game,” Maurice said. “I got an awful lot of texts from close friends and people around the league Adidas Dalton Prout Jersey , so I appreciated that a lot.”Maurice had no update on defenseman Josh Morrissey, who was hit in the leg with shot in the first period. He returned briefly to skate around just before the second period began, but left and didn’t return.NOTES: The Sharks were 1 for 3 on the power play and the Jets 0 for 5. … Maurice and San Jose head coach Peter DeBoer go back a long way. Maurice was a second-year head coach for a Detroit junior team in 1994 and DeBoer was his first-time assistant. DeBoer was coaching his 300th game for the Sharks on Tuesday and 794th overall NHL game.UP NEXTSharks: At Calgary on Thursday.Jets: Open a three-game trip in Montreal on Thursday. DENVER (AP) The Dallas Stars reached into the collegiate ranks to find their new head coach.It’s a strategy that’s certainly working out well in Philadelphia.The Stars will hire the University of Denver’s Jim Montgomery as their next coach, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Montgomery takes over for Ken Hitchcock, who retired last month and will become a consultant for the Stars. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the hiring had not been announced.Montgomery becomes the second college-to-NHL hire in the past three years, following the Flyers’ Dave Hakstol in 2015. Hakstol was considered one of the premier college coaches at North Dakota before making the switch. The Flyers have gone to the playoffs in two of the three seasons Hakstol has been in charge.Dallas is banking on a similar showing under the 48-year-old Montgomery Adidas Derek Ryan Jersey , who spent five seasons in charge of the Pioneers and led them to a national title in 2016-17. He finished 125-57-26 at a university well known for its hockey and lacrosse programs.Montgomery inherits a Dallas squad led by Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. The Stars are coming off a season in which they missed the playoffs for the eighth time in 10 seasons. Hitchcock returned for just a season before hanging it up. He’s the only coach to lead the team to a Stanley Cup title.Before his arrival in Denver, Montgomery spent three seasons as the head coach/general manager of the United States Hockey League’s Dubuque Fighting Saints. He also served as an assistant coach at RPI from 2006-10. He started his coaching career as a volunteer coach at Notre Dame in ’05-06.As a player, Montgomery led Maine to a national title in 1993 before embarking on a 12-year pro career that included stops in an assortment of leagues, including parts of six seasons in the NHL. He finished his career by playing one game for the Stars during the `02-03 season.—AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report.—
