Down a goal mid-way through the third, the San Jose Sharks almost let a four-minute power play go to waste before Joel Ward saved the day in the final second of his team's man advantage.
Ward walked into the Pittsburgh Penguins' zone and wired a slap shot past Matt Murray to score his seventh of the postseason.
4 of Joel Ward's 7 goals in the 2016 playoffs have come in the 3rd period. 3 of 7 have either tied the game or given the Sharks the lead.
