WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL – GAME 3 (BEST-OF-SEVEN)
SAN JOSE 5, ST. LOUIS 4 (OT) (SJ LEADS 2-1): Erik Karlsson scored a controversial goal 5:23 into overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Blues in game three of the Western Conference Final Wednesday night at Enterprise Center, taking a 2-1 lead in the series.
The goal was set up when Timo Meier, after having a shot blocked, passed to Gustav Nyquist, who passed it off to Karlsson to score. Replays clearly showed Meier made an illegal hand pass to Nyquist, but the officials didn’t see the hand pass, and after a discussion by the officiating crew, the goal stood. The play wasn’t subject to review under NHL video replay rules.
The Sharks jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Karlsson and Joe Thornton, but the Blues cut the lead to 2-1 early in the second period on a goal by Alex Steen at 1:21. Eighteen seconds later, Thornton scored to restore San Jose’s lead to two goals at 3-1. It was Thornton’s first career playoff multi-goal game.
Undaunted, St. Louis cut the lead back to 3-2 at 4:05 on a goal by Vladimir Tarasenko, then tied the game at 3-3 when David Perron scored at 16:03. A power play goal by Perron at 18:42 gave the Blues a 4-3 lead, which they held until 1:01 left in regulation, when Logan Coture scored off a scramble after a face-off in the St. Louis end with goalie Martin Jones off for an extra attacker.
Jones made 28 saves in goal for San Jose, while Jordan Binnington had 27 stops for St. Louis.
Game four of the series will be played Friday night at Enterprise Center, with a 7 p.m. face-off time, and will be televised by NBCSN. Game five of the series is set for Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., with the game being shown on NBC and KSDK in St. Louis.
