PITTSBURGH -- The Sharks have won when they've been in this situation before. They say they can do it again. History suggests they have almost no choice.
The Sharks will look to avoid going down by two games for the first time in the 2016 NHL playoffs when they play the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday. It's not a must-win for the Sharks, but it comes pretty close.The Sharks, who lost the Cup final opener 3-2 on Monday, are 0-for-10 in their history when they trail a series two-games-to-zero. In the history of the Stanley Cup Final, a team that has lost the first two games has dropped the series 44 of 49 times.
