Sharks forward Timo Meier made an illegal hand pass that led to San Jose's overtime winner. The pass went undetected by the officials, and under the NHL rule book, it's not a reviewable play.

The Sharks recaptured home-ice advantage and now lead the series 2-1 with Game 4 set for Friday night in St. Louis.
