Despite being badly outshot throughout the game, the Sharks found themselves ahead late in the third period of game three tonight in Edmonton. But a tying goal sent the game into overtime, and then a second and third overtime periods, during which the Oilers hammered at the Sharks goal, only to be turned away time and again by the goaltending of Vesa Toskala. Eventually, though, that kind of pressure is going to pay off, and the Oilers won the game, 3-2, early in the third overtime period. The Sharks still lead the series, 2-1.
