ANAHEIM, Calif. — San Jose forward Travis Moen knew the Anaheim Ducks planned to show highlights of his career on the scoreboard during his return to Anaheim.

He didn’t know he would add a whole new highlight.

After receiving a video tribute from his former team and an enthusiastic ovation from the crowd, Moen scored a second-period goal to help the Sharks beat the Ducks 1-0 on Sunday night. Evgeni Nabokov made 34 saves for his sixth shutout of the season.

Moen positioned himself just outside the crease and deflected Jamie McGinn’s backhander past goalie Jonas Hiller with 1:05 left in the second period.

“It’s nice to win, coming back that was the main goal, get two points and have fun,” Moen said.

He has two goals since he and defenseman Kent Huskins were traded from Anaheim to San Jose in a March 4 deal that brought two prospects and a 2011 conditional fourth-round draft pick to the Ducks.

Moen generally skated on the Ducks’ top defensive line during his four seasons with the team. He was highly effective in that role during Anaheim’s Stanley Cup championship run in 2007, scoring seven goals in 21 playoff games while defending against the opposition’s top forwards.

“Looking back there were a lot of fun times,” Moen said.

Nabokov made 12 saves in the third period to secure the win, his second in two days after missing seven games because of an upper-body injury.
