Detroit at San Jose

Premium Pick

A must win for San Jose here and we think they find a way. Detroit was really not a good road team this season. They did win game four in San Jose and they won one in Calgary in round one but they are 2-4 on the road in the playoffs overall and 23-23 on the season. San Jose is 28-17 here at home this year and they must win this game. Additionally, Detroit will be without defensman Mathieu Schneider who broke his wrist last game. San Jose has had their chances but they have not been able to hold on to leads. With what's at stake here, we think they will get the lead and keep it. Detroit smacked down San Jose last game 4-1. But, the Sharks are 17-5 this season revenging a loss by 2+ goals and 13-1 revenging a 3-goal loss.
