The San Jose Sharks (29-33-11, seventh Pacific) continue on the road, taking on the Dallas Stars (42-27-5, fifth Central) for the third and final meeting between the two this season. The Sharks beat the Stars earlier in the season 2-1, but lost the second contest in San Jose, just two weeks ago, 5-4.
Former Sharks captain, now Stars forward, Joe Pavelski netted an assist and the eventual game-winning goal on Apr. 2. It was a tilt that saw four-straight unanswered Stars goals in the first period. The Sharks have also been officially eliminated from playoff contention as of Thursday night’s shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
