San Jose is weaker defensively than it is on offense. If you discount their last regular season game against Arizona, the Sharks have surrendered 21 goals in their last five home games. The Kings' offense should pick up with the return of right-winger Marian Gaborik.

Only three teams scored more goals during the season than the Sharks, who have scored three or more goals in six of their last nine games. They have the third-best power play in hockey.

I see a West Coast type of matchup here with a loose, fast-flowing style that should result in at least five goals being scored.
