Vegas has to battle back in this game if they want to avoid going down in the series 2-0. However, the Golden Knights are a team that has faced a lot of adversity this season and in most of those cases the Golden Knights have managed to overcome the losses they have experienced on the season. This season, though, the playoff pressure could really get to the Golden Knights who have not looked nearly as crisp as they did in the regular season.
What makes it even worse for the Golden Knights is the opening game was a 5-2 beat down by the opponent. Now, the Golden Knights defense definitely has to pick up some major momentum and find a way to play defense or they are really going to be falling behind 2-0.

For the way the Sharks finished out the year it is definitely hard to see them winning the game they way they did. However, the Sharks are a team that has been able to play really great on the year and battled through quite a bit of adversity on the season. What is really impressive is the way the Sharks offense has been able to come to life lately as they finished the year with a 5-2 win over the Avalanche as well.
Joe Pavelski would like to score a goal in the second game like he did in the first. However, Pavelski would not want to score the same way that he did in the first game where he took the puck off of the jaw and lost a couple of teeth and had to get stitches in his jaw.
