When the TV analysts and writers broke down the Western Conference quarterfinals prior to the start of the series, San Jose rightfully was given the advantage on the power play over the Golden Knights.
The Sharks ranked sixth in the league with the man advantage during the regular season and feature two elite quarterbacks at the blue line with Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson.
But thus far, that hasn’t been the case.
The Knights scored a power-play goal in each of the first three games and turned the tables against San Jose on special teams en route to a 2-1 series lead.
