SAN JOSE –- This playing at home thing may not be so concerning for the Sharks, after all.
After a miserable regular season in their own building, the Sharks won their fourth straight game at SAP Center –- including all three of their second round playoff series games against Nashville -– 5-1 on Saturday night.
The Sharks, now up three-games-to-two, are one win away from their first appearance in the Western Conference final since 2011. Game 6 is at Bridgestone Arena on Monday.
Joe Pavelski led the way with a pair of goals, while Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture and Melker Karlsson also found the net.
