Noah Gregor had the go-to goal in the third period and added an assistant to help the San Jose Sharks rally past the Arizona Coyotes 4-2 on Sunday night and shoot a three-game losing streak.
Timo Meier, Nick Bonino and Rudolfs Balcers also scored for San Jose, who left 2-1 in the third period with just under five minutes left after Arizona Lawson shot Crouse.
But Meier equalized 22 seconds later when he beat Karel Vejmelka in the top corner. Gregor gave the Sharks their second goal in a 44-second span to give San Jose a 3-2 lead.
Balcers added an empty goal in the last minute for San Jose to seal it.
Phil Kessel also had a goal for the Coyotes.
Bonino gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead 20 minutes after the opener as they headed in a shot from Andrew Cogliano in front of the net. Gregor, credited with the second assist, won a 50-50 puck from the backboard to create the scoring opportunity.
The Coyotes equalized in the 18th minute of the second period with Kessel’s goal.
