Heatley scores twice for the Sharks

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Dany Heatley scored twice, Joe Thornton matched a franchise scoring record and the San Jose Sharks beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 on Saturday night.

Logan Couture, Niclas Wallin and Patrick Marleau also scored for the Sharks, who won their second straight and for the fourth time in five games.

Thornton had an assist on each of the first three goals, and recorded a point on each of the Sharks' last eight goals to tie a franchise record. Antero Niittymaki remained unbeaten in regulation play by stopping 22 shots.

Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry scored for the Ducks, who have lost three of four. Curtis McElhinney stopped 36 shots.

Of the 21 combined penalties, 12 were for fighting. These teams were whistled for 41 penalties in a preseason game.

Heatley scored 36 seconds into the game. He made an awkward backhanded flip that eased into the net after he took a pass from Thornton, who picked up a rebounded shot by Dan Boyle.

Couture added a power-play goal late in the period to make it 2-0.

Heatley scored his second goal on a power play early in the second period for his 55th career multigoal game.

Wallin scored his first goal with the Sharks after Scott Nichol picked up a loose puck along the boards and centered it to him. It was also Wallin's first goal in 90 NHL games.

Marleau scored late in the second period after picking up a loose puck in his own zone and beating defenseman Andreas Lilja to the net for the goal.

Getzlaf and Perry scored in the third period for the Ducks.
