No need to reiterate the importance of the first game back from the post-All- Star break. Sure, the Pacific Division is outright terrible, but that is also the very reason why this will end up a rat race to the finish. Before the game, the Anaheim Ducks were on the outside looking in; five points behind 2nd seed San Jose, and two points behind 3rd seed Arizona Coyotes (with two games in hand). But after taking the two points from the Sharks, the Ducks are now sitting in 3rd, three points behind the Sharks with a game in hand.
