SAN JOSE -- It didn't feel like the sequence that would preserve the Sharks' run for the Stanley Cup.
Nor did it look like the shot that would alter the course of Game 3 and bring SAP Center to life.But Sharks winger Joel Ward has a knack for the moment. In his 100 games in a Shark uniform, no moment -- no play -- has been bigger than his "slapper" midway through the third period and the Sharks in desperation mode.The Sharks had just failed to convert on a four-minute power play. They trailed Pittsburgh 2-1 and were a mere 11 minutes from falling behind three games to none.
