California rivals, the Anaheim Ducks (3-7-1, eighth Pacific), are back in town to face off against the San Jose Sharks (3-8-2, seventh Pacific) for the second time in five days. Since the last time these two teams saw each other, the Ducks lost 8-5 in another defense-optional game against the Vancouver Canucks. Andrei Kuzmenko — an off-season Canucks addition from the KHL — did his best Erik Karlsson impression, scoring a hat trick and adding an assist. Troy Terry scored a goal and an assist for Anaheim, while John Gibson stopped 39 of 46 shots.
