He also brings into Game 3 a 19-10-5 record with a 2.46 GAA and .916 SV% across 35 starts on the road this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the San Jose Sharks<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\"><strong>Moneyline: -135<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The loss in Game 2 was also largely due to the San Jose Shark\u2019s inability to capitalize on Edmonton\u2019s bad habits, like its proneness to the penalty box.<\/p>\n<p>In this playoff series thus far, the Sharks have converted just once in a total of 12 power-play opportunities, including 0-for-6 slate in Game 2. They could be easily sitting pretty right now with a 2-0 edge, if only they managed to take advantage of those freebies.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, San Jose looks to regain the focus it had in the opener, and will be playing without Joe Thornton, who remains day-to-day with an injured left knee.<\/p>\n<p>Brent Burns really needs to wake up for his squad after being contained in the first two games. He entered the postseason on a three-game point streak (one goal, two helpers), and led the Sharks in points (76), goals (29) and assists (47) in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>On defense, Martin Jones has been very reliable despite yielding four goals in the series, negating 51 of 55 shot attempts (.927 SV%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edmonton (<a
