San Jose finished just one point behind Anaheim in the Pacific Division standings after losing five of its last six games. The Sharks failed to score more than two goals in three of those losses, but they snapped that skid with Thursday’s 3-0 shutout against the Ducks as +122 road underdogs to take the early edge in this series. They were the only road team in the Western Conference to win their series opener. Evander Kane scored two of the goals, but credit goalie Martin Jones for stopping all 25 shots he faced.

The last time Anaheim was shutout was against Arizona in late February, and it quickly bounced back with five goals in its next game. The Ducks are not one of the most potent scoring teams in the NHL with an average of 2.8 goals per game, but they do have players that can light the lamp such as center Richard Rakell with a team-high 34 goals this year.
