from Curtis Pashelka of the Mercury News,
The Clarence Campbell Bowl will be inside Enterprise Center on Tuesday when the Sharks face the St. Louis Blues with their season on the line in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final.
The last time the Sharks saw the trophy after a game, they were standing on the ice at SAP Center in 2016, posing for a photo with NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly after dispatching of the Blues in six games to advance to their first Stanley Cup Final.
Considering the list of players that may not be able to dress Tuesday night — and the momentum the Blues have captured with two straight wins to take a 3-2 series lead — keeping the bowl out of public view for at least another game will likely take the Sharks’ best effort of the playoffs so far.
Even then, there’s no guarantee of a Game 7 on Thursday back in San Jose.
“We’ve been in this situation before. It’s not done yet,” said Sharks winger Joonas Donskoi, who was feeling better Monday after he was knocked out of Game 5 for a brief time. “It’s one game at a time and we focus on tomorrow’s game just like we always do. We are looking forward to bringing it back to Game 7.”
