Two leads dissipated as the Detroit Red Wings attempted to leave a favorable impression on their last home game for two weeks.
The San Jose Sharks came into Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday with a record that put them among the bottom five teams in the NHL, but they engaged the Wings in a tight game. Andrew Copp secured two points when he scored 25 seconds into overtime to deliver a 3-2 victory.
Dylan Larkin collected his 400th career point when he set up Adam Erne's goal, and Michael Rasmussen also scored in the second period.
