In the first round of the 2006 NHL Western Conference playoffs, the fifth-seeded Sharks defeated the fourth-seeded Nashville Predators in five games. The two teams split the first two games in Nashville's Gaylord Entertainment Center, but when the series shifted to San Jose's HP Pavilion, the Sharks took both games and a stranglehold on the series. The Sharks then finished off the Predators when the series moved back to Nashville, taking Game 5, 2–1.
The Sharks then moved on to the second round, facing the eighth-seeded Edmonton Oilers, who had upset the heavily favored, top-seeded Detroit Red Wings. The Sharks took the first two games in San Jose by identical 2–1 scores, but when the series shifted to Rexall Place in Edmonton, the Oilers never lost again in the series, taking two in Edmonton, one in San Jose and another back in Edmonton to complete the 4–2 series victory, setting up a Western Conference Final match-up against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
