The pressure is all on the Kings, down three games to one. San Jose has a short road trip for this one, ranked fourth in the NHL in goals scored, third on the power play and #10 in goals allowed. From the outset, coach Pete DeBoer wanted the Sharks to be tougher to play against at even strength, be sharper on defense and pressure the puck in all three zones -- and they have been. Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski scored power-play goals in the second period and the Sharks topped the Kings with a 3-2 victory Wednesday in Game 4. San Jose is a sizzling 30-10-2 on the road. The road team is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, with San Jose winning the last four here, including Games 1 and 2, 4-3 and 1-0. Take San Jose.
