Suter, who had been playing with a sense of urgency all night, tied the game at 1-1 at 14:41 of the second period. The goal was a thing of beauty, as Suter took a drop pass from Nils Hoglander and beat Mackenzie Blackwood with a shot from the slot.

Jake DeBrusk, who was making his return to the lineup after missing the previous game with an undisclosed injury, scored his first goal of the season at 15:38 of the third period to give the Canucks a 2-1 lead.

But the Sharks weren't done yet.
