Pittsburgh at San Jose

Home is where the heart is! It's also been a key in these playoffs, with San Jose winning seven of its last eight home games, while Pittsburgh just went 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals by winning both at home. But now it's a 2,600 mile trip for the Penguins. The game will be their first outside of the Eastern time zone since a January 18 trip to St. Louis. They haven't played in the Pacific time zone since early December. Pittsburgh doesn't feel at home here, with the Penguins 1-11-1 in their last 13 meetings at San Jose. The Sharks have great talent, depth and balance, fourth in the NHL in goals scored, third on the power play and #10 in goals allowed. They've played the physical game in this series, with an edge in hits so far, and that can pay dividends as a series goes along. The Sharks are 12-4 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, and when these teams clash the home team is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings. Take San Jose in Game 3.
