Grubauer allowed four goals for the first time since Feb. 5. It was his worst single-game save percentage since Jan. 23, after stopping 153 of the first 163 shots he faced this postseason.

Sharks C Joe Pavelski has not yet resumed skating since being forced from Game 7 against the Vegas Golden Knights. He's considered day-to-day. RW Joonas Donskoi has been skating, but he's unlikely to play Sunday night.

Colorado Avalanche at San Jose Sharks: NHL Best Bet

Moneyline: The Sharks have carried on just fine without the services of Pavelski (and Donskoi), but are without one of their most valuable players on offense. Back the Avalanche at +125 to even up the series with a better performance from Grubauer.

Against the spread: Colorado's getting only -225 odds to cover +1.5. It's a good indication of the moneyline being the better play for the visitors.

Over/under: With Jones playing at an elite level and Grubauer needing to be the best player for the Avalanche, roll with UNDER 6 (+105).
