Stanley Cup Finals Game 5

It ain't over till *** *** **** *****. The Sharks beat the Penguins 4-2 at Pittsburgh and got their first lead of the series in the first 2 minutes. There were 4 goals in the first 5:06 which is a new NHL record. This game the Sharks' super stars finally came to play. Brent Burns scored 1 minute and 4 seconds into the game when he had the puck behind the net and skated out to the bottom of the left circle and turned and fired it in. Matt Murray went down way to early on the shot which is why Burns was able to score that specific shot. Logan Couture got the next one 2 minutes and 53 seconds in when he deflected Justin Braun's shot from the point in front of Matt Murray. Evgeni Malkin scored 4 minutes and 44 second in when Phil Kessel passed it to him from the other side of the ice and Malkin from the bottom of the right circle shot it at the net, but it deflected off of Justin Braun's skate and went in. Carl Hagelin tied it up when Nick Bonino got the puck and shot it from the top of the left circle and Hagelin deflected it in. Melker Karlsson gave the Sharks the lead again when he got the puck in between the two circle and snapped the puck that hit Murray's glove and went in. This was all in the first period which was the only period with goals except for Joe Pavelski's empty netter and the end of the game. Overall the game was close because of Martin Jones which he stopped 44 shots and Murray stopped 19. Game 6 is in San Jose on Sunday at 8 PM ET. Will Murray start game 6? Can the Sharks force a game 7? Will Martin Jones continue to play like this? stay tuned...
