Sharks rebound from slow start for record-setting first period vs. Vegas

SAN JOSE -- The Sharks dug a three-goal hole just 6:11 into Game 2 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoffs series, only to erase the deficit with time winding down in the first period, thanks to a three-goal flurry of their own.

The first sign the fans at SAP Center were in for a whirlwind first period came just 58 seconds into the contest. Golden Knights forward Cody Eakin gave his team a 1-0 lead, capitalizing off of a forecheck he started.
