It’s hard to believe San Jose is still in this series. Rookie goaltender Matt Murray finally played like one as he allowed three goals in his first five shots. Yet Pittsburgh had 46 shots to San Jose’s 22 and scored just two goals in a 4-2 loss. Pittsburgh has dominated the shots in this series and ultimately after winning Game 4 on the road, should have no problem winning Game 6.
