HEROES
Martin Jones – San Jose’s netminder withstood a barrage of shots, stopping 44 of 46, as the Sharks won Game Five, 4-2, sending the series back to San Jose. In his past dozen games, Jones has posted a .932 save percentage and it was the third time in the Final that he’s recorded at least 38 saves.
Logan Couture – The leading scorer in this year’s playoffs was in on all of San Jose’s three first-period goals, recording a goal and two assists. He now has 29 points (9 G, 20 A) in 23 postseason games.
Melker Karlsson – Thrust into a bigger role in Tomas Hertl’s absence, Karlsson skated alongside Couture and Patrick Marleau and recorded a goal and an assist in Game Five, the second straight game in which he found the back of the net.
ZEROES
Matt Murray – It’s been an up-and-down Final for Pittsburgh’s goaltender, who allowed three goals on the first five shots he faced, and that was enough to cost the Penguins the game.
