After snapping their longest losing streak of the season, the San Jose Sharks can focus on maintaining their dominance of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
However, the Sharks might need to do so without one of their top forwards Thursday night in Toronto.
Joe Pavelski had a goal with an assist and San Jose (15-14-1) made the most of its 18 shots to snap an 0-5-1 skid with Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Montreal.
"It took a real team effort from everyone," said Sharks coach Peter DeBoer, whose team opened a five-game trip by improving to 11-5-1 on the road.
