Game Time: 7:00 PM, FS-W
The greatest way to really kick off this holiday weekend is with a good old fashioned rivalry, right? The Kings get to go into their holiday break just a short flight north, taking on the Sharks, who are currently holding down the third seed in the Pacific.
They’ll be doing it without leading scorer Logan Couture, who’s out with a concussion. He has 26 points on the season but hasn’t played since December 15th and there’s no real time table for his return. His absence has shuffled the Sharks’ lines around, pushing Tomas Hertl to the second line center role.
