As heard on 97.1 The Ticket - after the Wings scored in the first period the Sharks put up three goals in the second period - the Wings were tied for a short time after Tomas Holmstrom scored on a power play with assists by Pavel Datsyuk and Nicklas Lidstrom.
The Red Wings have lost three in a row Nicklas Lidstrom had two assists and Jimmy Howard made 26 saves.
Joe Thornton scored twice and Antti Niemi made 30 saves in the San Jose Sharks' 4-2 win.
