Logan Couture came through again.

Couture's power-play goal 1:20 into overtime was his fifth game-winner of the season, allowing the Sharks to claim a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.

After winning a face-off, the rookie center took a pass from Dan Boyle and fired a wrist shot from the high slot that got past screened goalie Kari Lehtonen for Couture's 15th goal of the season.

"I kind of curled back, gave myself some momentum and just stepped into a wrister," Couture said. "Those are the ones that feel real good coming off your stick."

Sharks coach Todd McLellan has come to expect big plays from Couture.

" 'Catalyst' would be a very good word," McLellan said. "He's scored some very big goals. Our special teams were below par, but he found a way to get the winner in overtime. He's one of the top, if not the top, rookie in the league, and when you have that type player on your team, you're thankful."

Lehtonen said he never saw Couture's shot.

"They got some good traffic there, and when I came to the locker room, I went to see it (on replay) because I didn't even know which side it went in," Lehtonen said.

Dallas' Mike Ribeiro had received a double-minor for high-sticking with 49.5 seconds left in regulation after his stick struck Devin Setoguchi in the face, giving the Sharks a power play that extended into overtime.

Setoguchi, activated off injured reserve Wednesday after missing nine games with an upper-body injury, scored goals in the first and second periods for the Sharks and has nine in 20 career games against Dallas.

Torrey Mitchell also scored for San Jose.

Joe Pavelski had two assists, and Antero Niittymaki made 15 saves for the Sharks as the teams faced off for the second time in four days. Dallas took a 3-2 shootout victory in San Jose on Monday night.

Sharks defenseman Kent Huskins was back after missing nine games with an upper-body injury.
