Premium Pick

Los Angeles is down 2-1 and needs to win. However, San Jose is home and super-talented at fourth in the NHL in goals scored, third on the power play and #10 in goals allowed. The Sharks have largely limited the Los Angeles star offensive players in the series, a Kings' team that ranked just #14 in the league in goals scored. The Kings have not been able to string together back-to-back wins lately (1-4 after a win) and the talented and balanced Sharks are 11-3 against a team with a winning record. San Jose will have another sellout at the Shark Tank (17,562), extending their streak of capacity crowds for postseason games to 90. The Sharks have a 47-42 home record in playoff games and are 10-2 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Take San Jose.
