KEY GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a "tomorrow" team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Finished fourth in Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (second season).
ADDED: F Phil Kessel, F Eric Fehr, F Matt Cullen, F Sergei Plotnikov, D Adam Clendening.
LOST: D Paul Martin, D Christian Ehrhoff, F Brandon Sutter, F Blake Comeau, F Steve Downie, F Nick Spaling, G Thomas Greiss.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Phil Kessel. The Penguins brought in the three-time All Star from the Maple Leafs to give franchise cornerstones Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin some much-needed support. The 28-year-old is hoping a fresh start away from the crucible in Toronto will help him put up the kind of numbers he only occasionally flirted with during his six seasons in Canada.
OUTLOOK: Injuries and an offense that struggled to score goals - a stunning development for a team with two of the game's biggest stars - led to Pittsburgh's quiet five-game loss to the Rangers in the first round last spring. General manager Jim Rutherford provided needed depth by adding Eric Fehr, Matt Cullen and young Russian Sergei Plotnikov to give the bottom six some punch. If Kessel can develop chemistry with either Malkin or Crosby and the defense led by Kris Letang keeps the crease in front of goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury clear, the Penguins will be in the postseason for a 10th straight year. Another quick exit, however, could lead to widespread changes.
PREVIEW
Sharks-Penguins Preview

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The nerves are gone. Spending your franchise's first 20 minutes in a Stanley Cup Final standing around while your opponent zips unimpeded from one end of the ice to the other will do that.

The San Jose Sharks insist they'll be better in Game 2 on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins than they were in the opener, when the Western Conference champions wobbled out of the gate and never really had control in a 3-2 loss that spoiled the club's debut in the NHL's marquee event after a quarter century wait.

It might have been jitters. It might have been a cross-country trip to face an unfamiliar opponent. Or, maybe the Sharks allowed themselves to briefly get caught up in the moment. Whatever it was, they understand it has to stop if they don't want to head home in a 0-2 hole that would be difficult to escape.

''The home team played a better game than us,'' San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. ''I think we didn't find a way to get rewarded. The good news was we still had a chance right until the last five minutes to win that game.''

Right up until Nick Bonino's floating wrist shot from in front with 2:33 remaining slipped by Martin Jones and gave the Penguins the early advantage in the best-of-seven series. It was Pittsburgh's 41st shot of the night, the most the Sharks have allowed in a regulation playoff game this postseason. That number included 15 in the first period alone as Pittsburgh took a 2-0 lead while San Jose managed all of four on Penguins rookie goaltender Matt Murray.

''I think we were watching,'' San Jose defenseman Brent Burns joked Tuesday.

Yet Burns pointed to the Sharks' aggressive rally in the second period as evidence they can effectively counter Pittsburgh's speed if they stay tight on the forecheck and pressure the Penguins into sloppy turnovers. Then there was the way Burns tracked down Pittsburgh forward Carl Hagelin, thwarting a breakaway attempt by steering one of the league's fastest skaters away from danger.

''My legs work too,'' Burns said with a laugh.

DeBoer cracked that perhaps Hagelin was at the end of a lengthy shift, his quip symbolic of a team that remains focused but loose. Last the Sharks checked, the first team to win four times gets to raise the Cup. They lost the opening game of the conference finals in St. Louis only to wrap up the series in six games and are 5-1 in the playoffs following a loss.

''We were far from where our game needs to be,'' said forward Dainius Zubrus. ''I think we realize that.''

The same couldn't be said for Sidney Crosby, who often looked like the best player on the ice and delivered a cross-ice backhanded pass to Conor Sheary that the rookie put past Jones for the Penguins' second goal.

''He's a threat,'' Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. ''Every time he jumps over the boards, we feel like he's a threat to score, just a threat as far as putting pressure on our opponent's defense. He has that twinkle in his eye, I think.''

Crosby had four of the Penguins' 41 shots on net while the Sharks were limited to 26 and few good chances around Murray.

''No, we weren't happy with the number of shots,'' DeBoer said. ''We weren't happy with the quality of shots. We weren't happy with the guys who didn't get enough shots.''

Though Burns continued his torrid postseason by assisting on both San Jose goals to give him 22 points (six goals, 16 assists) in 19 games, he's well aware his primary job is to keep the opponent on the other side of the San Jose blue line.

''They were making plays when they were over there and if we do what we're supposed to do, hopefully we don't allow that the whole time,'' Burns said. ''We've got to play our game.''

The Sharks will have veteran center Patrick Marleau for Game 2 after the NHL's Department of Player Safety declined to call Marleau in for a hearing to discuss his hit on Pittsburgh's Bryan Rust in the third period. Marleau was penalized for an illegal check to the head, but that's all.

''It was a clean hit,'' Burns said.

Rust, who leads all rookies in the playoffs with six goals, is listed as day to day. He didn't practice Tuesday but worked out for about 25 minutes after his teammates left the ice.
