Patric Hornqvist appeared to have tied the game in the second period. Upon further review, his goal was taken away when determined he punched the puck in with his glove. He tried to make his case, but the refs had made their decision in the San Jose Sharks’ favor.
He would eventually find the back of the net for what would be the game-winner on the power play. Down two defensemen to start the third period, Pittsburgh rallied with three goals in a seven-minute, 15-second span to stun San Jose.
The rally began after Pittsburgh killed a San Jose penalty.
