San Jose at Los Angeles

The San Jose Sharks made quick work of the Vancouver Canucks as they swept them in four straight. It makes them the 'sexy" choice here, but the Sharks had the Canucks' number all season long in winning all seven meetings. Life has not been as easy when they have faced the Kings on the road over the last two seasons where they have been outsocred 17-10 in four games, managing just a shootout win and three decisive losses by 2 goals or more. The Sharks are just 17-35 in their last 52 road games, which includes 3-10 vs. a team that has a home winning percentage of greater than .600 in their last 13. The Kings are 37-1 in their last 51 on home ice, and overall 7-1 on three or more days rest in their last eight. Play on LA.
