DALLAS (Ticker) -- The San Jose Sharks continue to pile up wins - whomever is playing in net.
San Jose looks to extend its winning streak to six games when it visits the Dallas Stars on Friday.
The Sharks, who went 5-1-1 while goaltender Evgeni Nabokov nursed a lower-body injury, won in overtime, 3-2, in his return against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. Brian Boucher has posted a 1.88 goals-against average as the backup goaltender.
A finalist for the Vezina Trophy last season, Nabokov made 24 saves in his first game since November 6 and improved to 11-2-0 on Joe Thornton's game-winner 45 seconds into the extra period.
Dallas is 0-2-1 in its last three home games and have not won at the American Airlines Center since October 29.
The Stars snapped a three-game losing streak on Tuesday, scoring three unanswered goals in a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Loui Eriksson tallied the game-winner with seven minutes remaining and also dished out two assists.
San Jose won the first meeting, 2-1, on November 8 after the Sharks were eliminated by the Stars in six games during the conference semifinals last season.
