The Pittsburgh Penguins made the most of their home ice advantage in the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals as they enter the Shark Tank Friday night with a 2-0 lead in the series. I think the Sharks will prove much harder to defeat at home and I like the price we get on the home team here in Game 3.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Sharks have won seven of their last eight games at SAP Center. They've won 12 of the past 13 when hosting the Penguins.

2. Special Teams - The Sharks have converted on one of three chances to play with the man advantage in this series. They're 27.3 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. Pittsburgh is 0-for-5 on the power play in the series.

3. X-Factor - Each of the top three players for points in the playoffs are Sharks, Logan Couture (26), Joe Pavelski (22) and Brent Burns (22).

Selection: This is a play on the San Jose Sharks (8*)
