Trailing by four goals early in the third period, the Sharks rallied to tie the game before defenseman John Klingberg scored at the 2:57 mark of overtime to help his team earn a stunning 6-5 win over the Penguins, capping the biggest comeback victory in franchise history while silencing the crowd of 17,059 at PPG Paints Arena.
