The San Jose Sharks (18-33-6-6, 31-32 PL, 37-23 O/U) battle the Winnipeg Jets (36-25-1-1, 35-28 PL, 17-41 O/U) in a conference bout on Monday night. The Sharks lost a home decision against the Capitals on Saturday. The Jets earned a home win against the Oilers in their previous clash. This is the first meeting this season and the Sharks went 2-1 against the Jets last season.
The San Jose Sharks head out on a three-game road trek. San Jose is stumbling, losing five consecutive games and eight out of their last nine clashes due primarily to weak defensive play. The only win in that nine-game span was a 4-0 victory against Seattle. They are going to struggle to win games in the late stages of this season after trading Meier. San Jose is 1-9 in their last ten games.
Erik Karlsson is having one of the best seasons of his illustrious career. The 32-year-old defenseman has netted three points in his last three games and has collected a remarkable 80 points on the season. Logan Couture is the top forward now that star Timo Meier has been shipped to New Jersey. Couture had one point in Saturday’s loss and is having a respectable season, recording 21 goals along with 30 assists. Kevin Labanc is struggling, posting zero points in his last ten games. The veteran has 25 poin ts on the season.
