The San Jose Sharks (3-5-1, 8th Pacific) continue their short but winless road trip tonight with a visit to the good-I-guess Montreal Canadiens (4-3-2, 5th Atlantic). Things have not gone according to plan so far for the Sharks, who sit in last place in the Pacific Division with seven points through nine games, one point behind the Los Angeles Kings, and four points out of both Western Conference wild card spots. Referring to how far a team is from playoff position in October is a little weird, but with games against the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night, and the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins next week before our boys come home, their position seems likely to get worse before it gets better.
