Sharks vs. Penguins: Game 1 Live Score, Highlights for 2016 Stanley Cup Final

Pittsburgh 3, San Jose 2 (Pittsburgh leads series 1-0) 

Nick Bonino's game-winner with 2:33 remaining in regulation handed the Pittsburgh Penguins a 1-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final over the San Jose Sharks on Monday. 

Bonino received a pass from Kris Letang near the left side of the net and proceeded to hit a shot over the shoulder of San Jose goalie Martin Jones to send the fans at Consol Energy Center home happy.

Pittsburgh jumped out to a two-goal advantage in the first period by way of tallies from Bryan Rust and Conor Sheary, but the Penguins were unable to take advantage of all of their first-period opportunities due to terrific shot-blocking by the Sharks. 

San Jose responded in the second with two goals of its own. Tomas Hertl scored San Jose's first-ever Stanley Cup Final goal on the power play three minutes, eight seconds into the second stanza, and Patrick Marleau leveled the contest near the end of the period. 

Game 1 appeared to be headed to overtime after a stalemate for long stretches of the third period, but Bonino was able to break the deadlock due to a strong forecheck by Letang, who delivered the game-winning assist from behind the net. 

San Jose had a chance to tie the game on a late power play with two minutes left in regulation, but the Sharks were unable to capitalize on that golden opportunity. 

The Penguins and Sharks will meet for Game 2 on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
