The Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks are under way in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Sidney Crosby snagged the opening faceoff for the Penguins away from Sharks center Logan Couture, with the speedy Penguins taking a 2-0 series lead to the Bay Area. The Sharks took their home ice without first-line forward Tomas Hertl, who was replaced on the wing by Melker Karlsson to stake with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
Retired NFL star Marshawn Lynch, a proud native of nearby Oakland, excitedly served as the celebrity dressing room door opener for the Sharks as they rushed onto the ice for introductions. The crowd at SAP Center observed a moment of silence in honor of boxing great Muhammad Ali, who died Friday.
