SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Joe Thornton scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:39 left in regulation to help the San Jose Sharks overcome a two-goal deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 on Thursday night. Justin Braun started the comeback with a goal late in the second and Patrick Marleau and Brent Burns scored tying goals earlier in the third for the Sharks, who have 10 wins and one tie in their last 11 home games against Pittsburgh. Burns added an empty-net goal and Antti Niemi made 19 saves for San Jose. Olli Maatta scored two goals and Chris Kunitz also scored for the Penguins, who last won at the Shark Tank on Oct. 22, 1997. Jeff Zatkoff made 42 saves in his first appearance since beating Los Angeles on Jan. 30. But Zatkoff would probably like another chance to stop the goal scored by Thornton. On what looked like an innocent play, Thornton flipped a shot from the blue line that fooled Zatkoff and went in over his shoulder. It gave the Sharks just their third win all season when trailing after two periods. The goal capped a wild third period that featured the Sharks tying the game with a short-handed goal, falling back behind and then tying the game again all in a span of 1:34. The scoring spree started after Matt Nieto was given a double-minor for high-sticking Simon Despres. The Sharks killed off the first penalty and then tied the game at 2 on a spectacular goal from Marleau, who took a pass from Jason Demers, faked out Evgeni Malkin and then beat Zatkoff with a backhand. The Penguins went back ahead 21 seconds later with their second power-play goal of the game when Brandon Sutter set up Maatta for his first-career two-goal game. That lead was also short-lived when Burns took a pass in the slot from Joe Pavelski 1:13 later and beat Zatkoff with his second goal in as many games after a 19-game scoring drought. Trailing 2-0, the Sharks took over control of the play in the final half of the second period thanks to some hard hits dished out by Raffi Torres, Jason Demers and Brent Burns. That energy translated into a goal when Tommy Wingels prevented Zatkoff from freezing a puck to set up Brauns point shot through a screen by Adam Burish. The goal ended an 18-game drought by San Joses defencemen since Dan Boyle scored against Detroit on Jan. 9. The Penguins got some reinforcements from deals made before Wednesdays trade deadline with forward Lee Stempniak and centre Marcel Goc making their debuts for Pittsburgh after arriving in town shortly after the morning skate. The game got off to a fast-paced start with no stoppage in the first 5-plus minutes. The Sharks threatened on a power-play midway through the period before the Penguins got goals from Maatta and Kunitz in the final 5 minutes to take the 2-0 lead. That was San Joses biggest deficit after the first period all season. NOTES: Goc had an assist on the first goal. ... Pittsburgh star Sidney Crosby has not scored a goal in six career games against San Jose. The only other teams he has failed to score against are St. Louis (seven games) and Chicago (three games). ... Olympic figure skater Polina Edmunds, who trains at the Sharks practice facility, dropped the ceremonial first puck.

A lovely summer day in England with abundant sunshine and minimal wind allowed him to attack Royal Liverpool.Canada: 5 W - 1 T - 1 L, Gold Medal After getting just a taste of Eric Lindros the year before, the world saw his greatness unleashed at the 1991 World Junior Championships in Saskatoon. Lindros did not lead the tournament in scoring, finishing second to American Doug Weight, and it was the USSRs Pavel Bure on top with 12 goals. But it was Lindross show, as he scored 17 points to spearhead Canadas gold medal victory. Lindros was named the tournaments top forward and his line-mate, Mike Craig, joined him on the all-star team. With 28 total points, they were Canadas dynamic duo. Canada featured another brilliant pair in goal, where Trevor Kidd and Felix Potvin held down the fort. Other than Patrice Brisebois, the defence was a largely anonymous group. But that changed on the tournaments final day when John Slaney became a household name. It was almost a repeat of 1990, with the Soviets leading Canada by a two points heading into the final game. This time, however, Canada would not need any outside help to win. This time, they would have to beat the USSR themselves in order to create a two-way tie for first place. Canada would win gold based on its head-to-head win over the Russians - but they had to win the game first. Like Canada, the Soviets had another great team in 1991. Along with Bure, Sergei Berezin and Vyacheslav Kozlov up front, they were stacked on the blue-line with the likes of Dimitri Yushkevich, Darius Kasparaitis, Sandis Ozolinch and Boris Mirinov. All they needed was a tie to win gold, and they looked like they might get it as the teams were deadlocked at 2-2 late in the final game. But, with time running out, Slaney became the improbable hero when he found the back of the net with a long slapper for a 3-2 victory and another gold medal for Canada.
