SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)—Joe Pavelsk picked up where he left off in the first round by scoring two goals to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 4-3 victory Thursday night over the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 of the second-round Western Conference series.

Pavelski scored in the first period to start a three-goal outburst in 1:19 with Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi. Pavelski added his seventh goal of the postseason on a two-man advantage in the opening minute of the third period to help the Sharks end a string of four straight home losses in series openers.

Dan Cleary, Johan Franzen and Brian Rafalski scored for the Red Wings, who opened this series less than 48 hours after winning Game 7 in the first round at Phoenix. There will be two days off before Game 2 on Sunday night in San Jose.

Dan Boyle(notes) added three assists, and Evgeni Nabokov(notes) made 20 saves for San Jose.

After breaking out to a 3-0 lead, the Sharks entered the third period ahead by only one goal. But with Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppula(notes) in the penalty box to open the third, Pavelski made it 4-2 when he beat Jimmy Howard(notes) with a shot from the side of the net 50 seconds into the period.
