The San Jose Sharks (14-10-5, 3rd Pacific) had a very impressive 5-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. The Dallas Stars (15-10-3, 4th Central) are also impressing, looking to keep their three-game winning streak alive with a victory over the Sharks tonight. The Stars are a bit like the Sharks, going through waves of success and mediocrity this season. They’ve had big wins and disappointing losses.
The last time these teams met was early in November. The Sharks fell short, 3-4, in Dallas. Devin Shore had two goals for the Stars, while Tyler Seguin and Gemel Smith each netted one.
