Following a three-game win streak on the road, the San Jose Sharks have extended their home record to 1-6-3 with a loss against the Detroit Red Wings.
Kevin Labanc put the home team on the board first off of a between-the-legs pass from Erik Karlsson. Though the Red Wings responded with a goal from Filip Hronek, Matt Nieto scored off a backhander to give San Jose the lead heading into the second period, a goal that gave rookie Nick Cicek his first NHL point.
Detroit came out hot in the second period, scoring the two lone goals in the period from David Perron and Jake Walman, respectively.
