The puck drops tonight in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals as the San Jose Sharks travel to Consol Energy Center to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Sharks have been electric and this is the year they get the monkey off their back.
Joe Pavelski has been delivering, finding the net 13 times thus far in the Playoffs, and Joe Thornton has been right there with 15 assists. Martin Jones has been stingy between the pipes for the Sharks, recording 3 shutouts in the last 7 games. The Sharks have a record of 17-5-1 in their last 23 meetings with Pittsburgh and who is better than the Sharks on the road? No one. I like the Sharks as a dog in game 1.
Today’s pick:
San Jose Sharks
