In what could be an emotional and spirited rematch, the Vancouver Canucks (26-26-7) visit the San Jose Sharks (34-17-7) at SAP Center tonight. Both teams could be looking for bounce back efforts tonight: the Sharks just had a six-game winning streak snapped on Thursday at the hands of the Washington Capitals, and the Canucks are just a few days removed from a 7-2 shellacking the Sharks laid on them in Vancouver on Monday.
That game may have been dominated by the shaky performance of Vancouver’s emergency netminder, Mikey DiPietro, and the reasonable questions that followed: Why do the Canucks only have two available NHL goalies?
