Colorado Avalanche at San Jose Sharks: What you need to know

COLORADO AT SAN JOSE, 8:30 p.m. Thursday, ALT, 950 AM

Spotlight on: Evander Kane. The Sharks forward was held out of Tuesday’s 4-2 loss to Dallas because of bumps and bruises, but he figures to return and help snap San Jose’s four-game losing skid and clinch a home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Kane, who was acquired from Buffalo last month, has led the Sharks in shots (75), goals (nine) and led all forwards in ice time (20:24) and hits (35) in March. He has played a career-high 77 games — the first 61 with the Sabres.
