Amazingly, the San Jose Sharks will be playing their first game after the all-star break. San Jose ended the first half on a high note, earning a point in a 3-2 OT loss to Anaheim and they are 3-1-2 in their last six games. However, the Sharks begin with back-to-back games on the road, taking on Winnipeg on Wednesday. This preview was written prior to the conclusion of that contest. San Jose is 5-19-3 on the road.
Goals by Anthony Duclair and Marc-Edouard Vlasic gave San Jose a one-goal advantage after two periods, but Anaheim scored with 61 seconds left in the contest, and then earned the game-winner with a little under a minute left in the extra session. This has been a struggling Sharks offense, producing two goals in each of their last three games. San Jose is 31st in goa ls per game (2.08) and is 22nd on the power-play (16.9%).
