SAN JOSE — Under normal circumstances, Sharks coach Pete DeBoer would be concerned about the trap awaiting his team at SAP Center Saturday night.
After an emotional win in Las Vegas Thursday, the Sharks are returning home for a date with the NHL’s 30th ranked team, the type of opponent that can be hard to get up for after three straight division wins.
Fortunately for DeBoer, the Sharks (26-13-7) are playing the Ottawa Senators (17-23-5) and the dressing room is determined to get a win for Erik Karlsson after putting forth their worst effort of the season in his homecoming game on Dec.
