San Jose at Dallas

We rode Dallas to a win last night and we'll stay on this gravy train as the Stars are knocking down all comers. Sure, they have gotten two victories this postseason in OT. But, they are just winning. They are more focused and playing harder than their competition. For the Sharks, they know in their hearts they are done. Only two teams have come from 0-3 down to win a series (1942 Toronto and 1975 NY Islanders). We think Dallas will be ready for a hard effort from San Jose. "We're going to try to end their season, and they know that," Mattias Norstrom said. "The desperation level will be higher, so we have to match that and exceed it." The Sharks offense just hasn't been good enough (averaging 2.0 goals per game their last five). In contrast, Dallas has averaged 3.3 goals per game in the playoffs while holding foes to 2.0. This just isn't a good match for the Sharks. San Jose is now 1-9 this season against teams that allow under 28 shots on goal and under 16% power play conversion. We'll take the Stars to end it here.
