Sharks forward William Eklund speaks to reporters following San Jose’s 6-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena.

William Eklund hasn’t won a lot in his career, but he’s becoming a winning player.

The offense is obvious: The San Jose Sharks winger put up three points in a 6-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, highlighted by this brilliant pass to Nico Sturm.

“From the beginning, pretty much. Saw the three guys on me,” he said. “When I turned my back a little bit, I saw Nico coming there, and he made a hell of a play on the breakaway.”
