San Jose Sharks vs. Detroit Red Wings: Game Highlights

Nico Sturm scored a short-handed goal, and Jan Rutta, Mikael Granlund, Tyler Toffoli and Mario Ferraro added goals for San Jose, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Rookie Macklin Celebrini had two assists as the Sharks won for just the fourth time in 18 games. Alexandar Georgiev made 25 saves.

Vladimir Tarasenko ended an 18-game scoreless drought with two goals for Detroit. He last scored on Dec. 1 against Vancouver. Lucas Raymond also scored and Ville Husso stopped 18 shots.
