The San Jose Sharks take a quick road trip tonight to Southern California for one final season matchup with the Anaheim Ducks. The last time these two teams met, the Sharks tipped the Ducks into losing streak territory, scoring two goals in the final two minutes of the game to win in regulation. The Ducks have now lost five games in a row and have dropped from the top spot in the Pacific Division to third. San Jose will have to watch out because the Ducks are clearly a wounded animal looking to lash out, especially after the way the team lost last time.

San Jose Sharks lines tonight

The Sharks played last night, so there was no morning skate. NHL.com reports the following lines are likely for tonight’s game. While I agree with most of it, it’s hard for me to believe that Shakir Mukhamadullin sits for another game after the disaster that was the defense last game. I would guess that either Nick Leddy or John Klingberg sits this game.
