Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports
Logan Couture's been a terror in Game 5.
After giving the San Jose Sharks a short-lived two-goal lead with his first of the Stanley Cup Final, Couture landed a wildly skillful one-touch backhand feed onto the stick of Melker Karlsson, who then fooled Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray with his best changeup.
Karlsson's goal was the difference through one period, and after the Sharks and Penguins combined to score the fastest four goals to start a Stanley Cup Final game.
