DETROIT – One more win and the San Jose Sharks finally can put to rest their reputation as a talented team that can't win the big one, that too often underachieves in the playoffs following a stellar regular season.
Showing more resiliency and mental toughness than perhaps they are given credit for, the Sharks on Tuesday night staged a third-period rally before defeating the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime to quiet a sellout crowd at Joe Louis Arena and grab a 3-0 stranglehold on their Western Conference Semifinal series.
Joe Thornton fed Patrick Marleau on a 2-on-1 rush for a tap-in at 7:07 of the extra period to cap the Sharks' comeback from a 3-1 deficit.
The Sharks can clinch the series and advance to the conference finals by winning Game 4 here on Thursday
