SATURDAY’S RESULT
Home Team in Caps
SAN JOSE 3, Pittsburgh 2 (OT) – PIT leads 2-1
DONSKOI, SHARKS CUT SERIES DEFICIT IN HALF WITH OVERTIME WIN
Joonas Donskoi (1-1—2) assisted on the tying goal midway through the third period and scored at 12:18 of overtime to help the Sharks cut their series deficit in half and win the first-ever Stanley Cup Final game in San Jose.
* Donskoi became the sixth rookie to register an overtime goal in the Stanley Cup Final – and the second to do so in as many games:
Overtime Goals by Rookies, Stanley Cup Final History
Joonas Donskoi (SJS): Game 3 in 2016 vs. PIT
Conor Sheary (PIT): Game 2 in 2016 vs. SJS
Brian Skrudland (MTL): Game 2 in 1986 at CGY^
Jacques Lemaire (MTL): Game 1 in 1968 at STL
Jimmy Peters (MTL): Game 2 in 1946 vs. BOS
Alf Pike (NYR): Game 1 in 1940 vs. TOR
^ Fastest overtime goal in Stanley Cup Playoffs history (0:09)
* Via Elias, Donskoi and Pittsburgh’s Conor Sheary became the second pair of rookies to score overtime goals in consecutive games within a series (of any round) in Stanley Cup Playoffs history. That feat also was achieved by Detroit’s Max McNab and Montreal’sGerry Plamondon in Games 1 and 2, respectively, of the 1949 Semifinals.
* Donskoi also became the fourth rookie in Sharks history to notch an overtime goal during the postseason. The others: Andrei Zyuzin (1998), Niko Dimitrakos (2004) and Benn Ferriero (2011).
* Donskoi posted his second game-winning goal of the playoffs (21 GP) after totaling one such goal during the regular season (76 GP). He also scored the series-clinching goal in Game 5 of the First Round at LAK.
* Donskoi shares first among rookies with six goals this postseason and ranks second with 12 points. His six goals are one shy of the franchise record for a rookie in one playoff year, set by Logan Couture in 2011 (7).
STANLEY CUP FINAL REMAINS CLOSELY CONTESTED AFFAIR
The Sharks and Penguins played their third consecutive one-goal game to open the Stanley Cup Final, including their second straight that required overtime:
* The Sharks and Penguins have been tied or within one goal for 95.3% of total playing time thus far during the series (185:39 of 194:53). San Jose has not led at any point in the first three games.
* Overall, 13 of the last 15 games in the Stanley Cup Final have been decided by one goal dating to the sixth and final contest in 2013.
* This marked the fourth time in the past five years that multiple games in the Stanley Cup Final have required overtime (also 2012, 2013 and 2014).
HOME TEAMS CONTINUE DOMINANCE
* The Sharks improved to 8-2 at SAP Center this postseason. They and the Penguins (9-3) own a combined 17-5 record on home ice during the playoffs; the other 14 clubs collectively went 29-37.
