Sometimes in the postseason, you worry about having home ice advantage. Sometimes, you have a team like the Blues. Against Winnipeg, they jumped out to a quick two games to none advantage after winning their first two games on the road. Against Dallas, the Blues lost just one road game. Overall, they’re 5-1 on the road this post-season.
The San Jose Sharks have had a multitude of good breaks go their way, but that doesn’t discount the fact that they came back from a 3-1 series hole against the Vegas Golden Knights, or that they’re 6-2 at home.
