ANAHEIM-- Hampus Lindholm scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:38 left in the third period to give the Anaheim Ducks a 3-2 win against the San Jose Sharks at Honda Center on Friday.
Lindholm took a feed from Nick Ritchie at the top of the right circle and banked it in off the crossbar for his first of the season in his 15th game.
"You want to have an impact on the game when you're on offense," Lindholm said. "I thought tonight that goal was really big for us. I thought we had some defensively good plays, too, that kind of helped us in the defensive zone, and that's what I'm kind of focusing on, but it was really nice to see one go in."
