Matt Niskanen scored in the 11th round of the shootout and the Dallas Stars overcame a stellar performance by San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov to hand the Sharks their fourth straight loss, 3-2 on Friday night.

Niskanen was robbed in overtime when Dan Boyle swept his shot away after it trickled past Nabokov. Boyle wasn't there to help Nabokov the next time as Niskanen scored on the first shootout attempt of his career. Nabokov had stopped the previous eight chances by Dallas after making 42 saves before the shootout.

Marty Turco stopped 10 of 11 attempts in the shootout, ending the game when he turned aside Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Turco had 33 saves.
