Another Huge Comeback Win For The San Jose Sharks

Mikael Granlund scored 37 seconds into overtime to give the San Jose Sharks an unforgettable 6-5 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday.

After creating a turnover, Fabian Zetterlund came into the Red Wings zone on a 2-on-0 with Granlund. Zetterlund then passed to Granlund, who beat Red Wings goalie Ville Husso as the Sharks improved to 3-2-0 on their six-game road trip that ends Sunday in Las Vegas.

Granlund’s overtime goal came after the Sharks (8-17-2) engineered a massive comeback in the second period, scoring four unanswered goals almost immediately after they allowed four in a row.

“That was a pretty entertaining game,” Granlund told NBC Sports California after Thursday’s game. “I haven’t been a part of these kinds of games too often.

“I don’t know, we found a way again.”

The unlikely victory came two days after the Sharks erased a three-goal deficit late in the third period in what became a 5-4 overtime win over the New York Islanders.

It’s the first time in Sharks history that they’ve come back to win consecutive games after trailing by three or more goals in each.

“We never quit and lately, that’s been what happened to us,” said Sharks center Tomas Hertl, who scored the first of his two goals in the second period to start the rally. “We kept pushing.”

Another reason to get rid of the loser point: The Wings deserved nothing out of that game.
