The San Jose Sharks overcame Dan Boyle’s colossal mistake in game three to advance into the Western Conference semifinals. During the final three games of the series the Sharks outscored the Colorado Avalanche 12-3. Joe Pavelski led the Sharks with five goals in the series, including two game-winners. "We realized that nothing comes easy after last year," Pavelski said.
The Sharks were on the verge of another disappointing playoff campaign before goaltender Evgeni Nabokov played lights-out during game four with 33 saves in a 2-1 overtime win. The game was highlighted by Dan Boyle who netted the game winner in overtime. It was sweet redemption for Boyle who in game three scored on his own team to win the game in overtime for the Avalanche.
Finally, what we have learned from this series? San Jose can battle adversity and overcome tough losses meaning they have the ability to go deep into the playoffs.
The defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins finished off the Ottawa Senators in overtime to advance in six games next round. Pittsburgh’s experience and offense was no match for Ottawa as the series progressed. Pascal Dupuis scored his first goal in the series in overtime helping his club advance. Sidney Crosby leads the NHL in points during the playoffs with 14 (5 g, 9 a).
