So, Sidney Crosby finally scored against the Sharks. But Matt Nieto got one behind Fleury prior to that, and Tommy Wingels scored the game deciding goal in the shootout to send the large crowd of Penguins fans (who at time drowned out the Sharks chants), with a frown, and the Sharks fans with smiles and hope that they can still make the playoffs.
Sharks stayed off the ice on Tuesday.
