Final Score: Columbus 1 - San Jose 2

San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Evgeni Nabokov made 21 stops, and San Jose rallied in the third period to take a 2-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at HP Pavilion.

Dany Heatley and Joe Pavelski each had a goal for the Sharks, who have won the past two games.

"I think the offense is going, but we're just running into some hot goalies in this league," Heatley said. "Especially down the stretch here, we're going to face hot goalies every team we play. The good things are we're creating a lot and getting a lot of chances."

Andrew Murray scored the lone goal while Steve Mason made 42 stops for the Blue Jackets, who have dropped their past four games.

"They're a first-place team. They're there for a a reason and they showed it tonight," Mason said. "Going into the third period we had the lead. They never give up and it showed."

Columbus was holding a 1-0 lead in the third period when Antoine Vermette was called for hooking, and the San Jose power play went to work.

Joe Thornton had the puck at the right side, and he shoved it out front where Heatley one-timed it home at the 7:53 mark.

Shortly after Thornton almost gave the Sharks the lead, the team did take the lead, as several shots in front saw the puck come to the right side. Pavelski grabbed it, skated around behind the net and from the left side wristed it home with 4:40 to play.

After a scoreless first period, the Blue Jackets took a 1-0 lead just one minute into the second.

On the transition, R.J. Umberger skated down the right wing, made a move to get behind his defender and slid a backhand pass to the slot where Murray redirected it into the net.
