Manny Malhotra got his first two goals of the season as the San Jose Sharks beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Sunday night.
Patrick Marleau and Dan Boyle had two assists each and backup goalie Thomas Greiss stopped 37 shots for the Sharks, who won for the fourth time in five games.
Dany Heatley and Jed Ortmeyer also scored.
Darroll Powe scored the lone goal for the Flyers, while Philadelphia goalie Brian Boucher stopped 24 shots in his first start of the season.

Despite coming into the game with an uncharacteristically low .894 save-percentage, Luongo has now allowed just six goals in his last five games.
