Reimer gets first shutout for Sharks in 3-0 win over Oilers

James Reimer made 31 saves in his first shutout of the season, Logan Couture scored twice and San Jose beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 on Tuesday night to improve its road record to 25-9-3.

“I semi-remember it, but it might have been a while ago,” said Reimer, who was acquired by the Sharks in a deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs shortly before the NHL trade deadline.

“Reimer made some good saves, but we missed the net on some really good chances and I think that’s a reflection on our game,” Oilers coach Todd McLellan said.

San Jose went up 2-0 with a power-play goal at 15:50 of the first when Couture picked the top corner with a wrist shot from the face-off dot for his 10th of the season.

Pavelski gave the Sharks a three-goal lead with 6 minutes left in the second period, tipping his 31st of the season past Talbot on Paul Martin’s shot.
