The San Jose Sharks had a big opportunity to further distance themselves from one of their biggest division rivals on Friday night when they traveled South to take on the Anaheim Ducks.
The two teams have split the season series coming into this game, both being low-scoring affairs with each team recording a shutout at SAP Center. Unfortunately for San Jose, this one followed the storyline of the previous two matchups, but it was Anaheim who would find the lone goal of the game in securing a pivotal 1-0 victory over the Sharks.
