Back in the playoffs for the first time since their embarrassing seven-game first-round loss in 2014, the San Jose Sharks get a chance at revenge for that series less. After winning the first three games of the series against the Los Angeles Kings, the Sharks watched as their rivals won four games in a row to erase the deficit, and eventually go on to win the Stanley Cup.
After missing Lord Stanley’s Tournament last season, San Jose is back in the playoffs with new head coach Peter DeBoer and find themselves pitted against a familiar foe, the Kings.
