As their road trip ends, the San Jose Sharks will now begin a three-game homestand, and their first opponent will be the Washington Capitals. San Jose is 2-3-0 through their last five games, and 4-5-1 through their last ten, hoping to get back on the right track.
Coming into tonight, the Sharks hold an 8-7-1 record on the season, currently ranked sixth in the Pacific Division. They most recently fell 4-1 to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. The Sharks simply were not up to par in that game, displaying their worst defensive performance of the season.
