The Pittsburgh Penguins took command of the NHL Finals with Nick Bonino's goal with 2:33 to play in regulation to earn a 3-2 win in Game 1 on Monday. I think we're getting a great price on the San Jose to even the series Wednesday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - The Sharks are 5-1 after a loss in the playoffs. The one time they failed to bounce back with a win they fell in triple overtime at Nashville. They're also one of the more fierce road teams in the NHL.

2. Special Teams - The Sharks converted on one of their two chances to play with the man advantage in the series opener. They're 27.5 percent on the power play in the playoffs and the Pens must choose to either drop off with the aggression or risk facing the Sharks deadly power play. Either option sounds far from ideal to me.

3. X-Factor - The Sharks are 17-6-1 in the last 24 head-to-head meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the San Jose Sharks (10*)
