The Sharks rebounded from a 2-1 overtime loss in Game 3 with a 3-2 win at the SAP Center Wednesday night, earning themselves a 3-1 lead in the series. Patrick Marleau’s first of the postseason proved to the be the game Sportsbook as the Kings managed a pair late in the contest.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who had been following the league closely that San Jose was so good in L.A. in the Sportsbook two games. The Sharks were the best road team in the league all season long with a 28-10-3 record in their travels.
The flip side to that coin was their 18-20-3 record at home, but a dangerous road team can be a perilous opponent in the chase for the Stanley Cup.
