Game 6 between the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks was like watching a ping-pong game. It seemed as though the Sharks had an answer every time the Avs would pull ahead until Gabriel Landeskog sealed the deal with the game-winner in OT. This sets up an exciting Game 7 where it will be interesting to see how different factors play out.
The first factor up for consideration is home ice advantage. In a best of seven series, Game 7 is always played at the higher seed’s home rink to give them a slight edge.
