The San Jose Sharks (20-12-7, 2nd Pacific) start a three game road trip this afternoon with a visit to the Edmonton Oilers (18-16-3, 6th Pacific). Make sure you’ve got a new complement of snacks appropriate for a 1:00 PM start time, as the boys are putting on a matinee for us today.
The Sharks ended a three game losing streak on Thursday with an emotional 4-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. While Brent Burns’ game winning goal in his 1000th NHL game was the star of the night, it was hard not to notice the play of his partner, Radim Simek.
