The Petes came right back with Phil Mintzberg scoring just 21 sec- onds later, and Bobb McGraync scoring with 2:50 remaining, to take the lead into the second period. The Petes' Mike Sullivan was given two minutes for tripping at 8:21. but the Sharks forgot their defensive role as Reggie Canard scored short-handed on a nice break- away.
