Tonight we kick things off at home against one of our divisional rivals the San Jose Sharks. This is a must win game for the Coyotes who have failed to win some big games the last week. Right now we are in the race for the top spot in the Pacific Division, but winning games against your own division is critical especially when it involves keeping one opponent down in the standings.
San Jose has struggled this season. They currently find themselves in sixth place with 47 points, but they are only 8 points behind us. We need to get this win tonight to ensure we have the leg up on the Sharks.
