of controversial goals. Both are reviewed. The first is
questioned because of a possible high stick and the eventual
game-winner crosses the goal line as the net comes off its
moorings.

| Sharks C Joe Pavelski |
Pavelski
|
Whereas many of San Jose's veterans disappeared on some nights,
Pavelski produced consistently, extending his breakdout season
into the playoffs. The sophomore finished second only to Ryane
Clowe in team scoring, with three goals and four assists against
the Flames. He recorded a point in all but one game in the
series, and chipped in two game-winning goals for the
Sharks. Pavelski's plus-3 ratings led all San Jose forwards. He
was also effective in the faceoff circle, winning 55 percent of
his draws.
