Jason Demers returns to SAP Center for the first time as a member of the Florida Panthers tonight. Daddy’s Home. Demers has five points in five games against the Sharks, two of which came on goals the last time San Jose saw the veteran defender. That was back on Nov. 10 when the Sharks came from behind to beat the Panthers 4-2.
Since then, things haven’t gone so well for the Panthers. Florida sits five points out of a wild card spot with a game in hand thanks to injury woes. They recently got Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau back from injury, but may find themselves in too big a hole for it to matter much.
