EDMONTON, Alberta — A lot was made of the disparity in playoff experience between the Sharks and the Edmonton Oilers before their opening round series began. Then the Sharks went out in Game 1 and showed why it was a big deal.
As the Sharks get ready for Game 2 on Friday at Rogers Place, once again, having some past experiences to lean on could come into play.
The Sharks were in this same spot in the first round last season. Up 1-0 in the series against Los Angeles in 2016, the Sharks won another hard-hitting one-goal game against the Kings in Game 2 at Staples Center to head home in total command.
