For much of the build up to this series between the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings, there was plenty of talk about the last time these two teams met back in 2014.
However, Peter DeBoer and the rest of the Sharks talked about how this group was different from the one that blew the 3-0 lead two seasons ago. Many of those different pieces played a pivotal role as San Jose was able to take Game One by a 4-3 final last night.
While the Sharks top players were certainly key, some fresh faces in teal acquitted themselves quite well.
