San Jose at Nashville

There is no team better on the road than San Jose. They won 26 games away from home - better than any other NHL team. They took care of business in the Conference quarterfinals last year here in Nashville. The Sharks have lost just one April game out of nine the past two seasons. Yes, Nashville had the edge this season on the series but San Jose is 12-4 this season on the road when revenging a loss. They are simply a tougher team that is playing better hockey. They closed the season on an 11-3 run while the Ducks lost nine of their last fourteen games.
