"The San Jose Sharks did something today that no other Sharks team has ever done. Down 5-1 in the third period, the team overcame a four-goal deficit to not just tie the game, but win it, something that no other Sharks team in the history of the franchise has done. Of course, that's in part because the stacked teams of the past never would have gotten themselves into such a predicament in the first place, but we take our wins where we can get them."
"While the Sharks started things out on the right foot, creating chances and shots in the first period, the tone seemed to change as the period wore on. Even though San Jose was the first on the board, the Penguins quickly responded, and San Jose lost momentum from there. When the first period ended, the shots were 12-7 in favor of the Penguins, and the scoring chances were 14-11. Still, San Jose was very much in the game."
