The entire city of Pittsburgh was transfixed on Consol Energy Center as the Penguins and their fans were looking to party. But nobody told the San Jose Sharks the role they were supposed to play.
The visitors struck quickly in Game 5, survived a Penguins onslaught and found a way to emerge with a 4-2 victory as the Sharks were able to force a Game 6 back at the Shark Tank on Sunday night.
Less than 24 hours later, it’s still hard to put into words the performance from Martin Jones who almost single-handedly postponed the celebration that was ready to erupt in the Steel City.
