The San Jose Sharks didn't have half as many shots as the Pittsburgh Penguins midway through the second period, but Martin Jones - as he has done all series - is keeping his team in the game.
Nick Bonino looked to have a golden chance as a rebound bounced out to his backhand, but Jones robbed the Penguins forward with an incredible toe save.
The 26-year-old headed to his dressing room with 30 saves and a 3-2 lead heading into the second intermission.
It's been a fairly civil Stanley Cup Final, but it might not remain that way if this sort of nasty is permitted.
San Jose Sharks defenseman Roman Polak escaped penalty after a clear, and outwardly reckless, shove through the back of Brian Dumoulin on a rare venture deep into the offensive zone.

Hockey Night in Canada's Punjabi broadcast didn't need long to deliver another classic goal call during Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final - this time paying homage to "The Simpsons."
After Brent Burns scored the game's opening goal for the San Jose Sharks just 64 seconds into the first period, play-by-play commentator Harnarayan Singh yelled: "Mr. Burns! Excellent!"
A record-setting whirlwind of offensive activity from both the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins kicked off Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.
The two clubs combined for the fastest four goals to start a game in Stanley Cup Final history, with each team scoring a pair within the opening 5:06.
The previous record for fastest 4 goals to start a #StanleyCup Final game was 6:51, set by @penguins (2) & Blackhawks (2) in Game 4 in 1992.
Kentucky's John Calipari traded in the hardwood for the ice Thursday night, as the Wildcats coach was in Pittsburgh for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Calipari was cheering on the hometown team as the Penguins looked to capture Lord Stanley's mug with a victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Calipari got treated to quite the start. The Penguins and Sharks exchanged four goals in just over five minutes of action and that had the coach making comparisons to some of his own team's offensive breakouts.
2-2. This is exciting stuff! Unbelievable environment!!! Pens fast break looks like it belongs in Rupp. pic.twitter.com/6L3n6n5Zk9
After giving the San Jose Sharks a short-lived two-goal lead with his first of the Stanley Cup Final, Couture landed a wildly skillful one-touch backhand feed onto the stick of Melker Karlsson, who then fooled Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray with his best changeup.
Karlsson's goal was the difference through one period, and after the Sharks and Penguins combined to score the fastest four goals to start a Stanley Cup Final game.
Donning a cape and a long, gold and black wig, the Pittsburgh Penguins supporter was seen screaming at Sharks players through a camera hole in the glass. Burns then startled the fan by shooting a puck at him - barely missing the opening.
Pittsburgh's "HBK" line erased the San Jose Sharks' early two-goal lead 22 seconds after Evgeni Malkin cut it in half, capping a feverish five-minute stretch to begin Game 5.
