Devils Beat Sharks

 A power-play goal scored by Ilya Kovalchuk against Olympic team­mate Evgeni Nabokov pushed New Jer­sey on to beat the San Jose Sharks 4–3 on Tues­day night.

New Jersey’s goalie Mar­tin Brodeur was not play­ing well. His post-Olympic per­for­mance was poor, after being benched in the pre­lim­i­nary round fol­low­ing Canada’s 5–3 loss to the US. He let in three goals in the third period and the Sharks nearly man­aged to rally from a 4–0 deficit.

Thir­teen Olympians played in the game, eight of who were on the teams in Sunday’s gold medal game. The five medal­ists play­ing for the Sharks — sil­ver medal­ist Pavel­ski and Cana­di­ans Joe Thorn­ton, Dany Heat­ley, Patrick Mar­leau and Dan Boyle – how­ever did not make much dif­fer­ence to the Sharks per­for­mance in the first two periods.

It was Devin Setoguchi who helped the Sharks recov­ery in the third period scor­ing two goals less than 2 min­utes apart. Joe Pavel­ski added another with 8:28 remain­ing, but New Jer­sey man­aged to remain ahead scor­ing a third goal in the final minute.
