Watch: Kassian buries game-winner 5-hole after brutal Schlemko turnover

John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports

Never go up the middle.

San Jose Sharks defenseman David Schlemko did, and the Edmonton Oilers' secret offensive weapon Zack Kassian made him pay in Game 3.

Kassian used his backhand to go five-hole, because that's where you shoot on Martin Jones.

That made it 1-0 Oilers, and that's how the game ended. Kassian now has two game-winning goals in the playoffs, in consecutive games. He didn't have a single GWG in the regular season.

The Oilers are up 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. And, yes, that's back-to-back shutouts for Cam Talbot, who made 23 saves Sunday.
