The San Jose Sharks were able to reach the 2016 Stanley Cup Final off the strength of a lethal offensive attack along with a sturdy defense that helped to limit the chances the opposition received.
However, through the first four games of the Cup Finals, San Jose has been hurt by defensive issues which the Pittsburgh Penguins have taken full advantage of.
That’s why it should come as no surprise that team teal finds themselves in a 3-1 series hole as the Penguins look to close out San Jose on Thursday night at Consol Energy Center.
