The San Jose Sharks were blown out in Game 1 against the Vegas Golden Knights, but they picked up a massive victory in Game 2 to head back home in a tied series. On Monday night, the Sharks hosted their first home game of the second round and they had a very special guest on board to help the home team get a little extra motivated before they took to the ice.

Having a celebrity guest on board to open the doors for the Sharks has become a tradition for the team over the years and some past guests include the likes of Jerry Rice, Metallica and Andre Ward, to name a few.
