Worst case scenario - Vegas in 5
Best case scenario - Vegas in 4
Seems that the Sharks is always a team that starts off the season strong and either levels off at the end, but they look terrible of late and they look like they're going into a tailspin.
Karlsson is finally back for the Sharks and he was an absolute beast for Ottawa a couple years ago when they went to the conference final. I think and hope this goes a long 7 games.
I think it be a Blood Bath that go 7 ,with how their last game whent I think this will be the series to watch in the first round in my Bracket I said sharks in 7 but I do think Vegas will take it just because of MAF .I would rather play the sharks then deal with MAF.

Knights: 43-32-7, 93 points (third in the Pacific Division and seventh in the western conference) Sharks: 48-27-7, 103 points (second in the Pacific Division and western conference)
Regular-season series: Knights won 2-1-1 (Sharks 2-2-0) Games were on November 24, January 10, and March 18 and 30.
This will be the second time the Knights and Sharks meet in the playoffs. The Knights won 4-2 in 2018.
I think this will be the most high scoring first round series as both teams were top 5 in SCF and HDCF. Hope it is a long, physically grueling series which I see as benefiting the Knights team that likes to roll all their lines. I also think the Sharks key guys are slightly older which works against them in these crash and bang types of match-ups, and that is why I think Vegas will take the series in 7 games.
