Sharks strike late to claw back into Stanley Cup
Print Edition
FINLAND’S Joonas Donskoi saved the series for San Jose by scoring in overtime to give the Sharks a 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday, cutting the Penguins’ lead in the Stanley Cup Final series to 2-1.
Into the 13th minute of overtime, Donskoi took the puck behind the net, skated out and squeezed a shot between two defenders and over the right shoulder of Pittsburgh goalie Matt Murray, who was crouching down for a low shot. It ended a thrilling overtime period in which both goaltenders pulled off some sharp reflex saves, with the San Jose crowd delighted with its first taste of a Stanley Cup Final game.
“The atmosphere was incredible, right from warmups on,” Sharks captain Joe Thornton said.
Pittsburgh’s Ben Lovejoy had the game’s first goal at 5:29 of the first period, and Justin Braun tied it four minutes later. Lovejoy assisted on Patric Hornqvist’s redirection with 53 seconds left in the second period that put the Penguins up 2-1. Joel Ward scored for the Sharks just as a power play was expiring midway through the third period to again tie the game.
