After being down 3-0 in the third period, the Sharks pulled off a miraculous feat. When Knights player, Cody Eakin, was given a major penalty for cross-checking Joe Pavelski (forcing him to leave the game) the Sharks went on a rout.

SJ scored four goals during the five-minute power play to take the lead. However with 47 seconds left in the period, the Knights tied the game and took game 7 to overtime.

WHAT. AN. ENDING.
