Penguins-Sharks Game 6 Preview
The San Jose Sharks have a chance to even the best-of-seven series at 3-3 on Sunday, while the Pittsburgh Penguins look to close out the final, and head home with the Cup.
The Sharks defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-2 in Game 5 and forced a return to San Jose.
As the series shifts back to SAP Center for Game 6, the Penguins hold a 3-2 series lead over the Sharks.
Sharks defenseman Brent Burns is coming off an excellent performance in Game 5. He scored the first goal to give San Jose its first lead of the series.
However, it has been goaltender Martin Jones who has kept the Sharks in this series. He made history in Game 5, finishing with 44 saves, which is the most by a netminder in a Stanley Cup Final regulation game.
It will be crucial for the Sharks to find a way to start fast and score first in Game 6.
Pittsburgh outshot San Jose 46-22, and dominated puck possession. However, it wasn’t enough to pull through with a win.
Evgeni Malkin and Carl Hagelin contributed with two goals in the first period to tie the game 2-2.
Right wing Phil Kessel leads the Penguins in goals (10), points (22) and shots (95).
