ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Vincent Damphousse hasn't allowed his scoring slump to affect his overall play for the San Jose Sharks.

The 14-year veteran center had a role in all of San Jose's goals Friday night. He scored for the first time in 24 games and assisted on the other three as the Sharks rallied twice to tie the Anaheim Mighty Ducks 4-4 on Niklas Sundstrom's goal with 2:22 left in regulation.

"I don't think he's been pressing," teammate Tony Granato said. "He's played extremely well and he's gotten a lot of chances, so he'll get his goals. And even if he doesn't, he's still a very solid two-way player. He kills penalties and he's a great playmaker. There's a lot of other things to this game than goal scoring."

Scott Hannan scored his first NHL goal and Owen Nolan also scored for the Sharks, who barely avoided their 16th one-goal loss with their league-leading eighth tie. San Jose also maintained its five-point lead over the Mighty Ducks for the final Western Conference playoff berth.

"It was good to battle back and get a point against a team that's chasing us," Damphousse said. "The only way we'll move up is to win games against our own division."

Matt Cullen and Oleg Tverdovsky each had a goal and an assist for Anaheim, and Teemu Selanne had a goal to extend his point-scoring streak to 13 games. Ruslan Salei also scored for the Ducks.

Antti Aalto won a faceoff from Damphousse deep in the left circle and Ladislav Kohn got the puck to Salei. The Ducks defenseman moved toward the middle before skating down the slot and beat Steve Shields to the glove side with a 20-footer for a 4-3 lead with 7:44 to play.

But the Ducks turned the puck over in their own end and Damphousse fired it at the net from the left boards. Goalie Guy Hebert had trouble controlling the bouncing puck and Sundstrom jammed it in for his eighth goal.

"It's too important right now to lose a point like this," Salei said. "We should be more hungry and more desperate. When we get a lead, we should have more killer instinct."

Hannan, playing in his 20th NHL game, cut Anaheim's lead to 3-2 with 17:32 remaining when he beat Hebert with a one-timer from 20 feet. The rookie defenseman was promoted for the second time this season after Jeff Norton received a four-game suspension for swinging his stick at New Jersey's Claude Lemieux on Feb. 13.

Damphousse, who hadn't scored since Dec. 22, got credit for his 12th goal less than three minutes later when his intended centering pass to Granato from the left circle banked in off the stick of Hebert -- who has surrendered 19 goals in his last four starts.

"I thought he competed in all the small areas and was pretty reliable on every shift," Sharks assistant coach Paul Baxter said. "If he continues to play like that, the goals will come, the points will come and the wins will come."

Cullen opened the scoring at 6:08 of the second with his 12th goal. He had the puck at the red line and fell down, but still managed to push it ahead to Ted Donato as he crossed the blue line. Cullen then slipped behind the defense and got a pass in the slot from Kip Miller before faking Shields to his left and beating him to the stick side.

Anaheim outshot San Jose 23-4 during the first 33 minutes, with the help of seven power plays to one for the Sharks. The Ducks finally scored on their sixth opportunity, as Selanne redirected Tverdovsky's pass from the outside of the left circle for a 2-0 lead.

"Our penalty killers had to play way too much tonight," Granato said. "It's tough when you have to kill that many penalties, especially early."

Selanne's 24th goal came just nine seconds after Ronnie Stern was sent off for charging, and extended Anaheim's streak to 10 consecutive games with at least one power-play goal.

Selanne's 33 goals and 67 points in 35 career games against San Jose are the most by any Sharks opponent, and the most Selanne has had against any NHL team.

"Going into the third period with a 3-1 lead, we can't afford to throw those away anymore," Selanne said. "I thought we learned something from the last game, but we did it again. So it's really frustrating. We had the two points in our hands, so we can't be too happy."
