SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – The Latest on Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks (all times local):
5:33 p.m. PDT
Ian Cole picked a great time to score his first goal in the Stanley Cup Final.
Cole collected the rebound off the left pad of Martin Jones and beat the Sharks goaltender to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead 7:36 into the first period.
San Jose players chased Evgeni Malkin all over the ice prior to the goal and erred by going off for a line change. Brenden Dillon covered Phil Kessel as Pittsburgh’s leading scorer in the playoffs got a shot off, but he was helpless as the puck got to Cole on the weak side.
