The Sharks finally got a road win, ending their six-game losing streak on the road with a 3-1 win in Vancouver.
Nikolay Goldobin, who was traded to Vancouver in exchange for Jannik Hansen, did not play tonight, so his first game against the Sharks is still on hold. Some other young guys did see ice time in Vancouver, largely due to their failure to make playoffs. Meanwhile, San Jose has been forced to shake up their lines since Logan Couture took a puck to the face in Nashville. After being scratched against Calgary, Joel Ward and Joonas Donskoi returned to the lineup, while Micheal Haley and Timo Meier watched from the press box as a last minute change.
