SAN JOSE, CA (AP) --
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Joe Pavelski picked up where he left off
in the first round by scoring two goals to lead the San Jose Sharks
to a 4-3 victory Thursday night over the Detroit Red Wings in Game
1 of the second-round Western Conference series.
Pavelski scored in the first period to start a three-goal
outburst in 79 seconds with Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi.
Pavelski added his seventh goal of the postseason on a two-man
advantage in the opening minute of the third period to help the
Sharks end a string of four straight home losses in series openers.
Dan Cleary, Johan Franzen and Brian Rafalski scored for the Red
Wings, who opened this series less than 48 hours after winning Game
7 in the first round at Phoenix. There will be two days off before
Game 2 on Sunday night in San Jose.
