The Canucks and Sharks have the day off on Saturday however their series will resume with game four being played on Sunday.

The San Jose Sharks answered the call on Friday night as they hosted the Vancouver Canucks in game three of the 2011 Western Conference finals.

San Jose entered the game down 0-2 in the series and could have been facing an almost insurmountable mountain had they dropped game three as well.

However the Sharks, behind a couple goals from Patrick Marleau, cut into Vancouver's lead and the two teams are now preparing for game four with Vancouver up 2-1.

There's tons of pressure on both teams at this point as San Jose, for example, cannot afford to fall behind 3-1 in the series. Winning one game at home wasn't 'good enough' as the Sharks need to win both game to level the series and to put the pressure squarely on Vancouver.

The Canucks will host in game five and Vancouver would also host a possible game seven. If the Sharks found themselves down 3-1 after game four they would have to win three straight games - two of which would be on the road.

If Vancouver, on the other hand, lose in game four they will have squandered their series lead and that would give the Sharks tons of momentum heading into game five. The series would still be up for grabs but after holding a 2-0 series lead, things would be tight around the collar in Vancouver.

Game four is scheduled for Sunday at 3pm ET with CBC and NBC providing television coverage.
