This article by James Mirtle (written after Game 3) I think has a pretty good analysis of what's going on: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/san-jose-sharks-must-shorten-bench-to-have-any-chance-at-stanley-cup/article30281982/. Mentions things other anons have, plus depth and coaching/line-matching, which also made me think of an article (on a blog, Pensburgh I think?) that talked about Sullivan countering DeBoer having the last change at home and trying to match the Sharks' first line against Schultz by always yanking Schultz immediately (he had some shifts that were like 4 seconds or 8 seconds) and replacing him with Letang, which works because Letang can handle that many minutes (although he has made some bad mistakes, so maybe there's a downside).

Jesse Marshall also had a few posts about how Sullivan adapts to what opponents are doing and counters their tactics. Mike Sullivan: Making the Penguins Great Again 2016.
