Whenever a playoff series shifts locations for the first time, the focus shifts to the matchups. The lower-seeded team gets last change as the home team for the first time in a series, and with that comes the opportunity for a head coach to deploy players based on how their opponents line up before a face-off.
With the Sharks set to face off against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 3 of the first round on Monday, don't expect San Jose head coach Peter DeBoer to take advantage.
"That's not something that I spend a whole lot of time on, so my answer to that would be no," DeBoer told reporters after Game 2 on Saturday.
