For several members of the Sharks, losing a three-games-to-one lead in a playoff series is not a foreign feeling. But the one positive those players can draw from those painful experiences is the knowledge that momentum in a series can change. Quickly.

Trailing 3-1 in games, the Sharks say they will take that attitude into Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.

"I think the one thing about our group is there's a lot of belief in our game and in each other," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said Wednesday. "The other thing about our group is they've been on the other side, up 3-0, and saw how quickly that vanished against L.A. (in 2014). We have some guys that vividly remember that. They know how quickly a win can turn the momentum."
