Boedker scores three for Sharks

Mikkel Boedker recorded a hat trick as the San Jose Sharks won their second game in a row, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 on Tuesday.

Brent Burns and Logan Couture also scored for the Sharks (25-14-2), who had lost three straight before getting back in the win column.

Drake Caggiula, Matthew Benning and Oscar Klefbom replied for the Oilers (21-157), who have lost two straight.

The Sharks surfaced with a 1-0 lead just 1:39 into the opening period as Boedker got to a rebound and lifted the puck over sprawling Oilers goalie Cam Talbot.

Caggiula tied it with four minutes left in the first, and San Jose made it 2-1 with 18 seconds left in the first period as a Burns point shot seemed to deflect through traffic.
