The San Jose Sharks (7-11-3, sixth Pacific) head to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Kraken (10-5-3, third Pacific), who are off to a better-than-expected start to the season. The Kraken won on Saturday in overtime against the Los Angeles Kings thanks to Jordan Eberle’s heroics, while the Sharks had one of the best periods of the season in a 5-1 smackdown of the Ottawa Senators. This could be a big test for San Jose, who have entered into frisky territory after winning four of the last six games.
