Through the first nine games of this playoff campaign, head coach Peter DeBoer has decided to ice the same lineup for the San Jose Sharks. However, following their marathon loss in Game 4, he decided to alter his lineup before the biggest game of the Sharks season to date.
Boy, did it pay off for team teal in Game 5.
San Jose looked reinvigorated as they absolutely dominated Nashville from the drop of the puck as they took Game 5 with a convincing 5-1 victory. Leading the way for the Sharks was the newly constructed line of Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture and Joonas Donskoi.
