The second period had a lot more scoring and there were some penalties too. The first goal came at 17:08 and was scored by Brandon Sutter and was assisted by Tom Kostopoulus and Chad Larose. This was followed by the first penalty, which came at 13:44 to Aaron Ward of the Hurricanes. After that all the upcoming 5 goals came from the Sharks. The first Sharks goal came from Kent Huskins at 15:55 and was assisted from Jason Demers and Ryan Clowe. Then only a minute and 22 seconds later Brad Staubitz scored a goal, which was assisted by Jody Shelly and Rookie Logan Couture. The only other goal scored in the second period was from Douglas Murray at 5:08, assisted from Joe Thornton and and Ryan Clowe. Then at 2:08 Manny Malhotra got an interference penalty. That wrapped up the second period with the Sharks taking 11 shots, 20 total and the Hurricanes taking 5 shots, 13 total.

The third period started off fast with Benn Ferriero gaining a hooking penalty a 18:44. Then the Sharks scoring the first of two goals at 15:40 coming from Marc-Edouard Vlasic, assisted by Marleau and Blake. Coming next the Hurricanes Chad Larose got a two minute high sticking penalty at 12:25, followed by another penalty to Andrew Alberts at 9:33 for slashing. The Sharks then scored on the Power Play goal from Patrick Marleau at 8:48 that was assisted from Dany Heatly and Joe Thornton.

          Game #3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs didn’t start so well for the Sharks. Just :17 seconds into the game Marleau got a 4 minute high sticking penalty. Then at :35 seconds Getzlaf took an Interference penalty which helped kill 2 minutes off the double minor to Marleau. The Sharks were able to kill off the rest of Marleau’s minor. The next exciting moment came at 5:25  both Grier and Rob Niedermayer  both got roughing minors. Then just :9 seconds Blake got a goal from the point after his shot was kicked out by Hiller into Drew Miller and went into the net. Then :16 seconds later Pronger got a holding penalty. Unfortunately the Sharks couldn’t capitalize on their 4 on 3.  Then at 9:55 Pavelski took a tripping that turned into a Power Play goal for Bobby Ryan  at 11:12 tying the game at 1 for each team.
