Coyotes bury Sharks

Hockey Betting Lines

04/10/2009 - San Jose, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scottie Upshall and Peter Mueller each had a goal and assist, as the Phoenix Coyotes topped the San Jose Sharks, 4-1, at HP Pavilion.

Despite the loss, San Jose clinched the top seed in the Western Conference. The Sharks have 117 points with one game to play, while Detroit is at 112 points with two games left. The Red Wings lost in a shootout to Nashville earlier Thursday.

Zbynek Michalek and Ed Jovanovski each scored once for Phoenix, which snapped a two-game slide. Al Montoya stopped 40-of-41 shots in the win.

Travis Moen had the lone goal for San Jose, which had won its last two games. Evgeni Nabokov allowed all four goals on 17 shots.

Upshall got Phoenix on the scoreboard 9:30 into the game, while Jovanovski made it a 2-0 game with a power-play tally with 19 seconds left in the opening period.

Michalek had the lone goal of the second period, making it 3-0 and making San Jose's comeback chances that much harder.

Moen stuffed in the puck near the left post with 7:38 left in the game, but Mueller's tally with a little over two minutes left restored the three-goal cushion for the Coyotes.
