The San Jose Sharks have long been known for having a tough home venue for teams to come in and steal a win. The difference in this year's team is that they have translated their game to the road where they finished 23-14-2-2 on the season, almost equaling their home mark. The Sharks have played their best hockey in the second half at 28-11 in their last 39, and are an amazing 37-16-2 following a home loss of 3 or more goals in their last 55. The Kings have faltered of late vs. winning teams at just 2-5 in their last 7, dropping four straight after allowing 2 goals or less. The Sharks won't be intimidated on the road, as they are 16-7 in their last 23 in LA. San Jose takes the money and the win.
