SAN JOSE, Calif. — Rookie forward Kevin Labanc sent the San Jose Sharks into their Christmas break in first place in the Pacific Division.
Labanc scored his second goal of the night 3:24 into overtime and the San Jose Sharks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Friday for their sixth victory in seven games.
“That’s a great way to end the break,” he said. “But it’s even better that we’re first in the standings. That’s always nice.”
