Sharks' Jones Key to Cup Final Success

In one hold-your-breath sequence during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist redirected a pass from teammate Sidney Crosby on the rush in front of the net. San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones stopped him. The puck skidded to the left corner.

But not to safety. Crosby whipped it right back at Jones, hoping for a bounce or rebound. Jones got a pad on it, and the puck ricocheted out of danger.

"They shoot from everywhere," Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic said.

The Penguins peppered the Sharks with 41 shots on goal in a 3-2 victory Monday.
