The Burger Line (Marleau, Thornton, and Heatley) tallied six points tonight and the Sharks cruised to their 30th win of the season in Phoenix 3-1.
Marleau scored the Sharks first two goals, one shorthanded and one on the power play in the first period. By the time Dany Heatley showed up to the goal party, it was already too late for the Coyotes.
Evgeni Nabokov made 32 saves, earning his 26th victory of the season, including three of his last four.
Here are the game highlights for you to enjoy in case you missed the game.
The Sharks will now head home for eight of the next nine games before a six game road trip leading up to the Olympic break.
