Logan Couture’s no-look backhand pass has the Sharks leading the Penguins

In the midst of the chaos that was the first period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, Logan Couture might just have the prettiest play of the game.

Tied 2-2 with the Penguins, the Sharks weren't content to sit back like they had in games past. This time, an end of the period goal has the Sharks taking their first lead of the series into intermission, and they owe it all to Couture's pass.

Great pass by Couture, but Murray is going to want that Karlsson goal back. pic.twitter.com/1bykpYfzEs

That no-look backhander got Melker Karlsson's goal started, and what a pass it was with a Penguins defender draped all over him. Secondary assist to Matt Murray, whose glove hand could not stop the close range shot.
