San Jose got healthy in a hurry, ripping young Edmonton 7-0 the last game to tie the series at 2-2. The Sharks scored four power-play goals in Game 4. San Jose is strong on defense at fifth in the NHL in goals allowed, and now the offense is in gear. They received contributions from two players who recently returned from injuries as Logan Couture scored a pair of goals while Joe Thornton notched an assist. San Jose is 90-44 when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. Young Edmonton has some pressure to deal with for the first time in the series. Nearly half the roster is making their playoff debuts. NHL regular-season leading scorer Connor McDavid has been held without a point in the last two games, with the team getting one goal in Games 3 and 4. Edmonton is also just 16-35 after allowing 5+ goals in the previous game and the Sharks are 15-7 at Edmonton. Play San Jose and the OVER.
