Stanely Cup Playoff Matchup: Will the San Jose Sharks Fall to The Vegas Knights Again?

This is easily becoming one of the fastest growing rivalries in sports, and fans should be excited to see these teams battle out the first round. Although this may be one of the more anticipated match ups of the first round of the playoffs, who will advance to the second round? Will the Sharks fall to the Knights again? Or will the Knights fail to live up to the expectations they set for themselves after making it to the Stanley Cup Final last season? I want to dive into the numbers and see who has the edge.

Goaltending:

The San Jose Sharks have been slightly better in this category in the majority of games since the NHL All Star break, but are still circling the bottom of the league in both save percentage and goals against.
