Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula scored
DETROIT -- less than two minutes apart in the third period, and the Detroit
Red Wings rallied again for a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks
on Tuesday night, forcing a decisive seventh game after trailing
3-0 in the pulsating second-round series.
San Jose must defend home ice Thursday night to avoid becoming
the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after leading
3-0. San Jose's Logan Couture scored early in the third period, but
Zetterberg tied it with 9:22 remaining, and Filppula scored the
winner with 7:28 left.
Darren Helm added an empty-net goal. Every other game in the
series was decided by one goal.
Detroit scored the last three goals of Game 5 to win 4-3.
