The San Jose Sharks staved off elimination in Game Six with the home win. The Kings have not been scoring a whole lot, and after scoring 6 goals in the opening two games of this series, they have managed a total of just 6 in the last four. The Kings have now played 12 playoffs games, and have scored 1 goal or less in half of them, and 2 goals or less in 8 of the 12. That leaves little breathing room for them going against on the puckline. There certainly hasn't been much distance between these teams through six games. Looking back over the last three years, these teams have seen plenty of action against each other, meeting 28 times, including the playoffs, and the Sharks have been outscored by the slim margin of 77-75. This game is likely going down to the wire, or overtime, so I'm backing San Jose on the puckline.
