(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Pinned behind enemy lines the San Jose Sharks seek to tie the series at 3 – 3 in Game 6 versus the Vegas Golden Knights. Team Teal took care of business in Game 5 defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 5 – 2. Netminder Martin Jones played very well for the San Jose Sharks and it propelled them to a must win victory. He’ll be asked to put together a repeat performance however this time in front of a hostile T-Mobile Arena Crowd. This afternoons match-up will be an even tougher task than Game 5. Not only do they have to deal with the crowd noise but they will not have the benefit of last change. The San Jose Sharks were successful because of the return of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Coach Pete DeBoer’s ability to match him up against Vegas’ top offensive unit. Team Teal held the Stone, Pacioretty, and Stastny line to 0 points in Game 5, after surrendering 28 in the previous 4 contests. It is crucial for the San Jose Sharks to prioritize their defensive efforts on arguably the best line in the playoffs. Keeping Finally Martin Jones made it through a game against Vegas without allowing a deflating early goal. The Sharks are banking on him keeping that streak alive even in front of raucous Knights fans. Team Teal kept things relatively clean in front of Jones, which made seeing the puck easy for the 29-year-old goalkeeper. The X-Factor for the Sharks tonight is Tomas Hertl. He dominated the Vegas Golden Knights in all 3 zones. He carried the puck into the slot area and behind the net with ease generating high danger scoring chances for himself and his line mates in the process. Expect the Knights to focus on the Czech forward, which will open ice for the rest of the members of Team Teal. With how Game 5 turned out don’t expect the Sharks to mess with the lineup heading into Game 6 in Vegas. Conversely don’t anticipate any tweaks to the Golden Knights roster either.

Golden Knights Predictions | NHL Playoffs 2019 Game 6 Picks San Jose Sharks Vs. Vegas Golden Knights betting Preview The San Jose Sharks knew playing against the Vegas Golden Knights might be doomed scenario for them. Facing elimination for the second game in a row, the Sharks must win in Vegas or their great 2018-19 season could come to an end on Sunday. San Jose saw how their 2017-18 season came to an end by the hands of Vegas during last year’s playoffs. The Sharks made the necessary adjustments for that not to happen again, but the situation has repeated itself. The Sharks won Game 5 with a 5-2 and kept chances alive. San Jose was more engaged in the game and outhit the Knights 33-22. They were also more effective, converting five goals despite recording three fewer shots on the night. The one thing that San Jose did differently was trying to score first. During the Knights wins in Game 2, 3 and 4, Vegas had scored within the first 90 seconds of the match. Now, the table turned with Sharks finding the net early, and that set the tone. Please wait ... Hurry up! 152 people have placed this bet!

Get live NHL Stanley Cup playoff updates, news and analysis during Game 6 of the Sharks’ first-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday at 4 p.m. in Las Vegas. After turning in a strong effort Thursday to stay alive in the series with a 5-2 victory, the Sharks go on the road to try to duplicate the effort. Down 3-2 in the series, San Jose must figure out a way to turn its fortunes around in Vegas. San Jose was outscored 11-3 in a pair of lopsided losses in Games 3 and 4 in Vegas and the Sharks can go a long way toward changing that by improving its special teams play. The Sharks have struggled mightily in attempting to slow down Vegas’ power play as the Golden Knights have scored on eight of their 24 power plays. San Jose has allowed at least one power play goal in each of the first five games of the series. Tomas Hertl helped the Sharks solve their early-game woes by scoring a goal just 76 seconds into Game 5. San Jose had allowed Vegas to score within the first two minutes of the previous three games. Hertl’s goal gave the Sharks their first lead in the series since Game 1. He followed that up with another goal and, combined with Martin Jones’ 30 saves, it helped lead to the Game 5 win.
