Sharks riding home-ice streak going into Conference finals

The San Jose Sharks bested the Nashville Predators in Game 7 in front of their Sharks faithful Thursday night.

The win propels the club to its first Western Conference finals since 2011 and helped match a rare feat: becoming just the fourth team in the last 20 years to win all four home games in a seven-game series.

The win also kept the Sharks perfect in playoff home games against the Predators, pushing their record to 8-0 and improving to 5-1 at the SAP Center in the postseason.

Home ice didn't provide much of an advantage during the regular season as the Sharks boasted the 23rd-best home record going 18-20-3. Whatever the case, the team is excelling at their own rink proving there is no place like home.
