Joe Thornton scored twice and Antti Niemi made 30 saves in San Jose’s 4-2 win over Detroit. The Sharks are the same team that eliminated the Red Wings in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs the past two seasons. It was a seven-game set last spring in which Detroit rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to force a decisive Game 7. Six of the seven games in that were decided by one goal.

Henrik Zetterberg, and Tomas Holmstrom scored for the Red Wings, who have now lost three in a row. Nicklas Lidstrom had two assists and Jimmy Howard made 26 saves.
