Third-period Goals Lift Red Wings over Sharks
DETROIT, Michigan -- The Detroit Red Wings scored twice in the third period Wednesday night to come from behind and earn a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Detroit's win snapped a three-game losing streak.
Robert Lang scored the game-winner for the Red Wings with 8:52 remaining in the game, deflecting a shot from the point by Mathieu Schneider over the shoulder of San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov.
Schneider had tied the game on a Detroit power play just 38 seconds into the period, puting a shot from the point past Nabokov.
San Jose's lone goal came off the stick of Steve Bernier with the Sharks on the power play and 2:50 remaining in the first period.

All I have to say is that I hope Hasek is doing his best!
Though nice goal by Mat Schnider (dont think I spelled that right)

Is this even the same team that was out west last week? They're playing much, much better.
Anyone happen to hear if there's a reason that Filppula has been wearing #51 instead of the #41 he wore last year?

Hopefully last week proves to be a fluke, they definately played with a lot more heart and conviction. Paws to Cheli for being the clutch player in the final seconds of the game. I was hoping to see him get the empty netter. Have no idea why Flippula has changed numbers, and I am glad to break the losing streak
