The ledger has the Sharks and Las Vegas Knights deadlocked at two games apiece in their second-round playoff series.
Martin Jones’ water bottle tells a different story: Psychologically, and until further notice, the Knights are now playing from behind.
A recap: Las Vegas whipped the Sharks 7-0 in Game 1. The Sharks squeaked out a 4-3 double overtime win in Game 2. Las Vegas returned the favor with a 4-3 overtime win in Game 3, after which it could have been said without hyperbole that the Sharks were a bad break or a fluke bounce from a 3-0 deficit in the series.
