Joonas Donskoi also scored, Logan Couture had an empty-netter and Martin Jones made 24 saves as a Sharks team notorious for postseason letdowns will now play for the championship that has eluded stars like Pavelski, Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau for so long.
Thornton assisted on Pavelski's goal to set the tone and Marleau had two assists in the third period that set off chants of "We Want The Cup! We Want The Cup!"
The Stanley Cup starts Monday night.
