San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Niklas Lidstrom scored the eventual game- winning goal and added two assists -- one of four Red Wings players to notch three points -- as Detroit doubled up the San Jose Sharks, 6-3.

Daniel Cleary and Henrik Zetterberg each also had a goal and two assists for the Red Wings, who have won two in a row after dropping three straight. Brian Rafalski had three assists, and Dominik Hasek had 15 saves for Detroit.

Sandis Ozolinsh had three assists for the Sharks, who have dropped four in a row. Devin Setoguchi, Jonathan Cheechoo, and Steve Bernier all scored for San Jose. Evgeni Nabokov let in six scores on 28 shots for San Jose.

Trailing by three goals entering the final stanza, the Sharks tried to make a game of it early, and Bernier's power-play score 47 seconds into the period briefly gave San Jose life.

The Red Wings held off the Sharks, though, and capitalized with 11:10 remaining when Cleary and Zetterberg ran a textbook two-on-one, with Cleary wristing in the score to restore the three-goal lead for Detroit.

Zetterberg drew first blood for the Red Wings at 6:53 of the first period.

"(Detroit) is a really good team but the first period we didn't compete as hard as we needed to," Sharks coach Ron Wilson said. "We stood around and watched them and they didn't get many scoring chances but we only had one shot."

The teams exploded for six combined goals in the middle stanza, but Detroit was responsible for four of them. Kris Draper's shorthanded slapshot posted the Red Wings to a 2-0 lead just 54 seconds into the period. The Sharks neutralized that score on the same power play, though, as Setoguchi ripped home a slapper 32 seconds later to make it 2-1.

Another power-play score, this one on a nifty move by Cheechoo to get free and then stuff the puck between Hasek's blocker and the left goalpost tied the game at 2-2 with 12:18 remaining.

The Red Wings came roaring back, though, scoring three times in the last 10 minutes. Niklas Kronwall struck first, slapping in a score at the 10-minute mark to put the Red Wings back on top.

Detroit did the rest of the damage on the power play. Lidstrom scored with 6:45 left to push the Red Wings lead to 4-2, and Detroit took a three-goal edge into the final period after Tomas Holmstrom's goal with 4:33 left.

"I thought we had a pretty good night," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "We only gave up 18 shots on the road. We played pretty well and pretty intelligently."
