SAN JOSE, Calif. \u2014 Brent Burns gave up a chance to score during regulation. He made sure he took his last shot.<\/p>\n

Burns scored 22 seconds into overtime to lift the San Jose Sharks over the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started with Jumbo (Joe Thornton), made a great play coming to help in the D-zone,\u201d Burns said. \u201cAnd then (Joe Pavelski) obviously made just a great pass there, nice sauce over two sticks, and nice to see it go in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barclay Goodrow scored a short-handed goal with just over eight minutes to play in regulation to tie it at 4, capping the Sharks’ rally from a three-goal deficit.<\/p>\n

Logan Couture scored on a power play three minutes earlier. Melker Karlsson also scored a short-handed goal and Thornton had a power-play goal to move into 19th place on the career points list at 1,410.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty good game for the fans probably,\u201d Burns said. \u201cThat game had everything in it. Tough start, great finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sebastian Aho scored twice within a five-minute span of the first period, Victor Rask also scored during that stretch and the Hurricanes took a 3-0 edge. Jeff Skinner also scored for the Hurricanes, who have lost three of four.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter their second goal they started to outskate us,\u201d Skinner said. \u201cWe had a tough time getting back the momentum. They pushed back at us and, unfortunately, we didn’t respond to match their intensity in the third.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin Jones stopped 21 shots for the Sharks. Cam Ward had 28 saves for Carolina.<\/p>\n

Jones was 3 of 6 on stops in the first period before clamping down afterward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s not the way you draw it up to start the game,\u201d Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. \u201cWe dug ourselves out of a hole. You got to win all kinds of ways in this league over 82 games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes scored three times within 5:13 in the first period, eliciting scattered boos from the crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did pretty good 5-on-5,\u201d Aho said. \u201cWe just needed to create more opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sharks got one back on Karlsson’s goal before Skinner made it 4-1. Thornton’s power-play goal brought the Sharks within 4-2 entering the final period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go into the third with a two-goal lead, you’re in great shape,\u201d Skinner said. \u201cBut that was not a good enough third period.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Sharks D Brendan Dillon served his one-game suspension for a slash against Washington. … Sharks D Paul Martin was on the ice for the first time since Oct. 7 due to injury. … D Tim Heed missed his fifth game with an upper-body injury. … The Hurricanes have been outscored 11-3 in the second period in their past eight games. … Thornton’s power-play goal ended Carolina’s streak of 24 straight penalty kills against the Sharks dating to 2012. … Hurricanes C Derek Ryan appeared in his 100th NHL contest.<\/p>\n
