The Sharks silenced the raucous Consol Energy Center crowd early with a pair of goals in the opening three minutes. Not only was it a look of pure domination from San Jose, the 2-0 lead was the first time the Sharks have held a lead in the entire Stanley Cup Final thus far.

Yet, of course, the Penguins weren't having any of it in their potential Stanley Cup-clinching Game 5.
The first power play given up to Pittsburgh turned the tide when Dainius Zubrus threw the puck out of play. Evgeni Malkin got the 2-1 goal moments into the power play, as the puck got a lucky bounce and deflected off the skate of a Sharks defender in front.

22 seconds later, Carl Hagelin was used to deflect the puck in on Nick Bonino's high shot that tied the game.
