Sharks strike back in NHL's Stanley Cup

San Jose have pegged one back on Pittsburgh, who have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final series.

The San Jose Sharks flipped the script on the Pittsburgh Penguins with a game-winning overtime goal that gave them a 3-2 win and pulled them back into ice hockey's Stanley Cup Final series.

Finnish forward Joonas Donskoi scored at 12:18 in OT to snap a 2-2 tie and bring the SAP Center crowd to life, cutting the home team's deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven game series.

San Jose, who dropped the first two games on late Pittsburgh goals, had appeared to be on the brink of elimination before Joel Ward made it 2-2 at 8:48 in the third period.

Game four is in San Jose on Monday (Tuesday AEST).
