Another rookie is an overtime hero.
In the first-ever Stanley Cup Final game in San Jose, Joonas Donskoi skated the puck out from behind the net and went top shelf with a beautiful wrist shot to beat Matt Murray just over 12 minutes into extra time, giving the Sharks a massive 3-2 victory in Saturday's Game 3.
In Game 2, fellow first-year forward Conor Sheary scored the OT winner that gave the Penguins a 2-0 series lead.
