San Jose at Nashville

San Jose has no urgency for this one, up 2-0 in the series and 2,500 miles from home. Nashville plays its best hockey at home with no real weak spots, #12 in goals scored, #10 on the power play and #14 in goals allowed. They come off a 3-2 loss at San Jose, but outshot the Sharks 39-25 and outhit them 46-26. With the tandem of captain Shea Weber and Roman Josi leading the way, Nashville's defensemen led the NHL by posting the most points (203) and goals (55) during the regular season. Fellow blue-liner Mattias Ekholm has been clutch in the playoffs, tying for the league lead among defensemen with three tallies and either tying the game or putting his team ahead with each of his goals. Nashville has won six of the last seven meetings at this arena against San Jose, and the home team is 38-18 in the last 56 meetings. Play Nashville.
