“Our history dictates that we haven’t played well in that building, so we’ll have to try to change that and overcome that situation,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said Monday before the team traveled to Detroit. “There is a history and we’re aware of it, but what happened has absolutely nothing to do with May of 2010.”
Detroit goalie Howard said, “It’s definitely a must-win game”.
Pavelski leads all scorers with nine goals during the playoffs. Datsyuk (12 points) trails Pavelski by only two points for the Western Conference playoff scoring lead.
