Anaheim now has its best chance in Game 6 tonight in front of a home crowd eager to witness the Ducks becoming the eighth No. 8 seed to win a playoff series since 1994.

But the Sharks also have a shot to force Game 7 on Wednesday back in San Jose.

Evgeni Nabokov looked solid for the Sharks after a less-than-impressive series, although both goals he surrendered in Game 5 appeared stoppable. Nabokov hasn't been nearly as impressive as Jonas Hiller, the Swiss goalie who stopped 45 shots for his latest gaudy stat line.

San Jose also got a boost from a new line of Jeremy Roenick, Jonathan Cheechoo, and Torrey Mitchell, who skipped Sunday's practice to rest up for Game 6. Get your NHL playoff odds with Bodog now.
