The San Jose Sharks will likely be a confident team coming into this round of games after winning seven of their previous ten.

But, they were professional in their latest outing after recording a 3-1 home win over the Boston Bruins. Collin Graf, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Macklin Celebrini all scored goals in the home success.
