Detroit — Even having Filip Zadina in the lineup Sunday didn’t change the Red Wings’ luck.
Zadina, the Wings’ first-round pick last June, made his NHL debut but it didn’t help on the scoreboard, as the Wings lost to San Jose 5-3.
The Wings had a 3-1 lead 8 minutes into the second period after Mike Green scored, but watched the Sharks score three consecutive goals to take the lead.
Joe Pavelski scored two consecutive goals 45 seconds apart, tying the game and then giving San Jose the lead. Pavelski then scored into an empty net to complete his hat trick, giving him 35 goals.
