Dallas vs. San Jose

Outlook:
The Sharks are trying to carry their first-round upset of St. Louis into the second round against the Stars. San Jose barely made the playoffs, but with their trademark energetic and gritty play found a way to win in the opening round.

Dallas will have all their key players healthy in the lineup for the first time this year. The Stars beat Edmonton relatively easy in five games in the opening round and the team is now well rested.

Sharks definitely have a chance for another upset, but everything has to click and they need still need some of those lucky bounces. San Jose may feel too good about themselves after dropping the Blues, if that's the case they're in for a rude awakening.

Prediction:
Stars in five.
