Joe Pavelski and Nikita Kucherov appear to be in a heated game of H-O-R-S-E.

A day after the Tampa Bay Lightning forward scored twice to take the postseason lead in goals, Pavelski responded with two of his own to reclaim his rightful spot on top.

After firing home a one-timer late in the second period to knot Monday's game at 3-3, the San Jose Sharks captain found the back of the net again early in the third period, deflecting a Brent Burns shot past Jake Allen for his 12th of the playoffs.
