SAN JOSE, Calif. D.J. Moore Panthers Jersey . -- Tuukka Rask bounced back from a rare rough patch to salvage a win for the Boston Bruins on their California swing. Rask made 26 saves for his NHL-leading fifth shutout two nights after being knocked out early, and the Bruins got a third-period goal from Carl Soderberg to beat the San Jose Sharks 1-0 on Saturday night. "That was Bruins hockey," said Rask, who gave up three goals in less than 22 minutes in a loss at Los Angeles on Thursday. "Thats how we get points in this league. Sometimes we slip from it but today was a great example of how we need to play in order to get points. Im really happy with the effort." Rask gave up eight goals on the first two games of the trip as the Bruins were outscored 9-4 in losses at Anaheim and Los Angeles. But they rebounded in San Jose to sweep the season series and hand the Sharks just their second home loss in regulation all season. Soderberg broke the tie with 7:35 remaining at the end of a broken play when Loui Erikssons shot was blocked by Scott Hannan. Soderberg got the loose puck and knocked it past Antti Niemi for his sixth goal to salvage the finale of Bostons three-game California swing. "A goals a goal in this league," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "You get some tough ones that go against you so every once in a while its good to have some go for you. Thats the breaks of the game, and sometimes you have to make them yourself." Niemi made 21 saves for the Sharks, who had their six-game home winning streak snapped and were shut out at home for the first time since Feb. 9, 2013, in a shootout loss to Phoenix. "Both teams werent giving up too much," captain Joe Thornton said. "One shot in the third period made all the difference. Both goalies did an excellent job. When you do get a good chance they were there to block it." Niemi kept the Sharks in the game shortly after Soderbergs goal when he made a strong stop on a backhand by Brad Marchand but the Sharks couldnt get anything past Rask on 26 shots. The game featured a pair of goalies who will be teammates for Finland at the Olympics next month. Rask and Niemi both made a case for the starting gig by stopping 47 of the 48 shots. "I dont think either one had to be really unbelievable," Rask said. "Both teams played tight defence and we just scored that one goal that have us the win. It wasnt about showing off." Neither goalie faced too many good scoring chances in a tight opening two periods that featured one power-play chance for each side and a brief fight between Bostons Kevan Miller and San Joses Mike Brown. The Sharks looked disjointed on their power-play chance in the first period with Soderberg off for boarding, getting only one shot on goal during the man advantage. San Joses best two chances in the opening two periods came from Joe Pavelski, who was stopped by Rask on a redirection in the first period and then again midway through the second right in front of the net following a good pass from Thornton. The Bruins came the closest to scoring in the first two periods on their power play with Scott Hannan off for holding. Patrice Bergeron got the puck in front and slid a shot past Niemi that hit the post. The Bruins ended the second on the power play when Patrick Marleau was called for high-sticking with 1 second remaining in the period. But Boston couldnt convert on that chance or another one early in the third when Jason Demers got called for holding. The Bruins fell to 0-for-13 on the power play in their last five games. "It was tight from the very beginning all the way to the end," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "There was playoff-type checking. The top two lines neutralized each other and it came down to puck luck and the bounce went to their skate. Theres nothing to hang our heads over." NOTES: Bruins D Johnny Boychuk flew home for personal reasons. ... Boston F Shawn Thornton returned from a 15-game suspension for slew-footing Pittsburghs Brooks Orpik to the ice and punching him twice. Thornton was retaliating for a hit on Eriksson, who also returned Saturday after missing 15 games from a concussion in that game. ...

Although he is one of mixed martial arts top talents, Pettis hasnt even seen a second round since October 2011.Gilbert Melendez intends to make Pettis regret all of his injuries and inactivity in a title fight that could serve as the masterwork of his long career.Theres nothing left to accomplish except this, Melendez said this week. If I can do this, I feel like Im one of the greatest of all time.While Pettis (17-2) hopes to begin a long reign as one of the UFCs top stars at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas on Saturday night, Melendez (22-3) relishes the chance to take the champion into areas he hasnt visited in years. While Melendezs big right hand is his greatest strength, he believes he can also win a mental matchup with the champion.Itll get real interesting when we get out of the first round and he hasnt hit me with any of that spinning stuff, Melendez said. Whats he going to do when were in a fight?Melendezs shot at Pettis is the penultimate event at UFC 181, a rare card featuring two title fights. Welterweight champion Johny Hendricks returns from a long layoff for his own first title defence in a rematch with Robbie Lawler. The card also features two heavyweight bouts and popular bantamweight Urijah Faber.But the MMA world has been anticipating Pettis return to the cage for 16 months, ever since he claimed the belt with a first-round submission victory over divisive champion Benson Henderson.Pettis incredible athleticism makes him a highlight-reel staple — never more than in December 2010, when he jumped off the side of the cage to flatten Henderson with the now-famous Showtime kick in their first meeting. Pettis cant deny his absence hurt, but hes eager to make up for lost time, perhaps fighting four times in the nexxt year. Custom Carolina Panthers Jerseys. I won the belt, but then I was off for a year, Pettis said. I cant consider myself the best of the best until I prove it for about a year.

He respects Melendezs striking, but believes he can counter it with a well-rounded game.Ive been calling a first-round knockout, and Im still going for it, but he doesnt drop easy, Pettis said. If it doesnt happen, Im prepared to go five rounds. Hes one of the best guys in the sport, but Im going to show everybody what Im all about if theyve forgotten.Melendez already got a UFC lightweight title shot in April 2013 after dominating the weight class in the Strikeforce promotion. The San Francisco-based fighter made it through five tough-to-score rounds against Henderson, but lost a razor-thin split decision in the Bay Area.When Pettis took the belt away from Henderson last year, Melendez knew he had another shot at the title. Still, he had to wait: Pettis tore a ligament in his knee and recovered gradually from the surgery.Melendez passed the time by commentating on ESPN, and he agreed to coach the UFCs new womens strawweights opposite Pettis on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter, the promotions long-running reality show.
