DETROIT — Joe Pavelski scored a natural hat trick, and the San Jose Sharks rallied for a 5-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday.
Brent Burns had a goal and an assist, Logan Couture and Marc-Edouard Vlasic each had two assists, and Aaron Dell made 20 saves for the Sharks (37-18-8), who have won nine of their past 12 games (9-2-1) and moved within one point of the Calgary Flames for first place in the Western Conference.
San Jose played without defenseman Erik Karlsson, who missed the game with a groin injury.
Mike Green had a goal and an assist, and Jonathan Bernier made 32 saves for the Red Wings (23-31-9), who lost their fifth straight game (0-3-2).
Tim Heed gave the Sharks a 1-0 lead at 3:46 of the first period when his pass redirected in off the skate of Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen. Detroit coach Jeff Blashill challenged the play for goaltender interference, but the call was upheld after a video review.
Darren Helm tied it 1-1 at 14:39, taking a cross-ice pass from Justin Abdelkader and scoring short side from the left circle.
Gustav Nyquist gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead at 19:23, knocking in the second rebound of his original shot at the top of the crease.
San Jose outshot Detroit 32-8 over the final two periods.
Green extended the lead to 3-1 at 8:00 of the second period, scoring on a one-timer off a cross-ice pass from Abdelkader on a delayed penalty.
Burns cut it to 3-2 at 13:50, beating a screened Bernier with a wrist shot off a face-off, and Pavelski tied it 3-3 with a power-play goal at 15:50. With an assist on Pavelski’s goal, Burns became the first NHL defenseman to reach 70 points in his team’s first 63 games since Ray Bourque (61 games) in 1993-94.
Pavelski gave San Jose a 4-3 lead at 16:45, redirecting in Vlasic’s pass from a sharp angle, and completed the hat trick at 19:00 of the third period with an empty-net goal to make it 5-3.
