The Golden Knights and San Jose Sharks had more than a week to prepare for the Western Conference semifinals after each team swept its first-round series.
Too bad neither team needed that much time.
“We know them, they know us,” Knights coach Gerard Gallant said. “They’ve got a lot of experience, and they’ve got a lot of good hockey players. So, we’ll see what happens.”
The Knights went 3-0-1 against San Jose during the regular season, with three games decided by one goal (including two in overtime). This series should be more of the same starting with Game 1 at 7 p.
