SAN JOSE — Doug Wilson didn’t need to pull off a blockbuster trade this time around. The Vegas Golden Knights provided more than enough fuel to lift the Sharks out of their doldrums.

Brent Burns snapped the Sharks seven-game losing streak at SAP Center on Saturday by blasting in a one timer from Logan Couture just 22 seconds in overtime. In doing so, he made sure that his team avoided its longest losing streak since November 2005, a 10-game skid that ended after the Sharks swung a trade for Joe Thornton.
