This three-game trip through California for the Red Wings was worth staying up for.
Three games, and all of them went into overtime — and Saturday, the shootout.
The bad news for the Wings was that they lost their second consecutive game, this one 4-3 to San Jose. The Sharks won the shootout 1-0.
The Wings went 1-0-2 on the trip.
Andreas Athanasiou scored his second goal of the game in the third period, tying the score 3-3.
In overtime, the Wings had a power play when Athanasiou was tripped by Brent Burns, but the Wings couldn't convert.
