GAME OF THE NIGHT

San Jose Sharks vs. Dallas Stars

The Sharks were able to avoid elimination with a victory in Dallas. However, they must now return to San Jose where Dallas has owned them. If they allow the Stars to score first, it is quite possible that the Sharks will pull off the victory, as the team who scored the first goal in each game of this series has wound up losing the game.
