Dmitry Orlov is a defenseman. On Saturday night in Salt Lake City he had a hand in four of the five goals the San Jose Sharks scored in regulation.

Orlov finished with a goal and three assists in a 6-5 shootout win over the Utah Mammoth, and the Sharks needed every one of them. They were outshot 32-21 and trailed 3-1 after the first period, when Utah's Zac Jones scored twice.

San Jose is now 9-11-2. Utah is 10-8-3 after the shootout loss. The game drew 14,111 to Delta Center, according to the ESPN box score.

Two Sharks Goals in Six Seconds Tied It 3-3

The comeback started on the power play. Adam Gaudette tipped in his first goal of the season at 3:07 of the second period, with Orlov and Tyler Toffoli assisting. Six seconds later, at 3:13, Zack Ostapchuk scored off a Darnell Nurse pass and the game was tied.

Jack McBain put Utah back in front before the period ended. Eric Pohlkamp answered at 5:23 of the third with his first of the season, set up by Macklin Celebrini and Orlov. Then Orlov scored himself, a slap shot at 14:17 that made it 5-4. Barrett Hayton's power-play goal with 3:38 left sent it to overtime.
