The San Jose Sharks have used their recent blazing six-game winning streak to vault up the Pacific Division standings. The Sharks went out on the road as a team one game under .500, but they return to the Bay Area now five games over the century mark and tied for first place with the Los Angeles Kings in the Pacific with identical 13-8-0 records and 26 points.
San Jose wrapped up their longest road trip of the season by winning all four of their games last week. The Sharks recorded victories over the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets.
