Blue Jackets go for consecutive road wins vs. Sharks

Jan 6, 2007 - 5:25 PM Columbus (16-21-4) at San Jose (27-14-0) 10:30 pm EST

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- After Friday's dramatic comeback, the Columbus Blue Jackets may have given themselves a tough act to follow.

Columbus looks for just its second win in seven road games Saturday in their second meeting of the campaign against the San Jose Sharks.

The Blue Jackets rallied from a three-goal deficit by scoring four times in the final 10:02 of Friday's 4-3 triumph over the Anaheim Ducks. The final three goals came in the last 3:14.

Manny Malhotra snapped a 3-3 tie when he netted his fifth goal of the campaign with 1:20 to play and defenseman Rostislav Klesla scored twice to ignite the comeback. Goaltender Fredrik Norrena held off Teemu Selanne's penalty shot with 21 seconds to play.

After suffering an 8-0 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes last Saturday, San Jose has won its last two games by scoring 13 goals. The Sharks are eight points behind Anaheim in the Pacific Division.

Mike Grier scored twice and Patrick Marleau added a goal and two assists as the Sharks overcame an early three-goal deficit in Thursday's 9-4 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Vesa Toskala made 23 saves and Jonathan Cheechoo scored a power-play goal to lead the Sharks to a 3-0 triumph over the Blue Jackets on October 23.
