The Sharks scored five times against the Dallas Stars, four times against the Buffalo Sabres and then twice in two games in losses to the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks. So San Jose, which has now lost twice in a row, will look to right the ship against a Dallas Stars team that is all too happy to cede goals. Puck drop is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
This starts a four-game road trip in the midwest that takes the Sharks to Dallas twice. So San Jose plays the ex-North Stars twice and the zombie North Stars once while also existing as a kind of bastardized version of the North Stars themselves.
