Kevin Labanc’s hat trick lifts Sharks

EDMONTON, Alberta — The Sharks have been getting contributions from just about everyone during their five-game winning streak.

On Saturday night, it was Kevin Labanc’s turn. The 23-year-old recorded his first career hat trick as San Jose beat the Edmonton Oilers 5-2.

“I have to show that I’m doing everything I can to be here and to make myself better and make this team better as well,” Labanc said. “We’re trying to improve ourselves in the standings. We have a great team here and we have to keep this rolling.”

Evander Kane and Tomas Hertl also scored for the Sharks and Aaron Dell stopped 21 shots.
