NHL Red Wings rebound to beat Sharks

Pavel Datsyuk's late goal allowed Detroit to tie its series with San Jose.
DETROIT (AP) -- Pavel Datsyuk scored off a rebound with 1:24 left to give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 comeback victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday, evening the Western Conference semifinal at a game apiece.
Joe Thornton had a goal and an assist in the first 4:17, and San Jose held onto the two-goal lead until Henrik Zetterberg scored late in the first period.
The Sharks then made a rare mistake early in the third period with a Detroit-like giveaway. Daniel Cleary made them pay for it with a short-handed goal that made 2-all.
San Jose had two power plays midway through the final period, but took only one shot on the first opportunity and three on the second.
Detroit's Dominik Hasek made 17 saves, and Evgeni Nabokov stopped 19 shots.

Game 3 is Monday night in San Jose and the Red Wings' victory means the series will come back to Detroit for at least Game 5.
Joe Louis Arena was quiet when the Sharks jumped ahead early again, but the fans got revved up as Detroit rallied unlike the series opener when it lost 2-0.
Zetterberg carried the puck behind the net and got it to Mikael Samuelsson, whose shot from the left circle deflected toward a swooping Datsyuk in front of crease and he beat the sprawled Nabokov.
Detroit finished strong after a second straight awful start.
After turning the puck over 27 times in Game 1, the Red Wings had two giveaways right away and the second led to Jonathan Cheechoo's goal.
