The San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins were tied 2-2 late in the third period in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final when Nick Bonino provided some late-game heroics.
The 28-year-old flicked his fourth goal of the playoffs and second game-winner over the right shoulder of Martin Jones, with just under three minutes remaining.
Bonino added to his reputation as a clutch playoff performer by recording the fifth postseason game-winner of his career - with his last four all coming in either the final three minutes of regulation or overtime, according to ESPN.
