SAN JOSE –- The Sharks scored five times in the third period, including a pair by Logan Couture, coming from behind to capture Game 1 of their second round playoff series with Nashville on Friday at SAP Center, 5-2.
Mike Fisher’s second period power play goal held up as the only score through two periods, but the Sharks answered that with Tomas Hertl’s man advantage marker at 2:37 of the third. Joel Ward pushed the puck down low to the third year forward, who spun around and found just enough space inside the near post at 2:37.
Ward gave San Jose its first lead with 8:11 left.
