Cody Eakin, Colin Miller and Max Pacioretty helped the Golden Knights storm out to a 3-0 lead just 6:11 into the game. The Sharks battled back with goals from Logan Couture, Tomas Hertl and Joe Thornton in the final 3:01 of the first to tie the score at 3-3.

SERIES STANDOUTS
Max Pacioretty: Pacioretty leads the Golden Knights in scoring so far in the postseason with four points (1G, 3A) in two contests.
Mark Stone: Stone has scored a series-high three goals for the Golden Knights and netted the game-winning goal in Game 2.
Paul Stastny: Stastny has registered three assists in two games for Vegas and has a +1 rating.
Erik Karlsson:Karlsson has recorded a series-best four assists through two games for the Sharks.
Tomas Hertl: Hertl is San Jose's leading goal scorer in the series with two tallies. He also has one assist to his credit.
THE SERIES SO FAR
Both teams have flexed their offensive muscles through two games in the series. After San Jose put up five goals in Game 1, Vegas followed suit with five of their own in Game 2. The Golden Knights have given the Sharks 13 power plays and, while they've only scored on two of them, Vegas will want to avoid putting the Sharks on the man advantage as the series progresses.
KEYS TO THE GAME
On The Ice, Not In The Box: Vegas' penalty trouble in this series is well documented and, though the Sharks haven't made them pay each time, putting San Jose on the power play is a risk the Golden Knights don't want to take.
Feed Off The Home Crowd: T-Mobile Arena will be rocking when the Golden Knights take the ice. It's easy to get caught up in the emotion of a home playoff game and Vegas will want to harness the energy as it radiates in the building.
