Tonight, the Los Angeles Kings (15-20-4, 8th in Pacific) and San Jose Sharks (16-20-2, 7th in Pacific) meet in a match-up between two of the National Hockey League’s worst teams. The Sharks, losers of eight of their last nine games, stumble into tonight’s contest following a four-day holiday break, hoping to get back on the right track and salvage their season.
While the postseason may seem like a pipe dream at this point, stranger things have happened (ask the reigning Stanley Cup Champions how their season was going this time last year), and Sharks fans can take solace knowing their favorite club will, at the very least, continue to ice their most competitive lineup as they attempt to turn things around.
