Instead, a few of the Sharks' youngest players led the response. William Eklund assisted on an Alexander Barabanov even-strength goal and later scored on the power play off a pretty pass from Thomas Bordeleau. Klim Kostin ripped a shot past Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood for his seventh point in nine games in a San Jose uniform.
Eklund was arguably the Sharks' most dynamic player against the Stars. Just 40 seconds after a Jason Robertson goal, which came following a Sharks' turnover, Eklund a pass from Jan Rutta below the Stars' goal line, took a few strides toward the back of the Dallas net and sent a backhand pass to Barabanov, who beat Wedgewood from in close.
