SAN JOSE, Calif. — Having defeated injury-ravaged Anaheim and lowly Los Angeles to start their four-game road trip, the Flyers have a much more difficult test Saturday night in San Jose.
They will be trying to defeat a Sharks team that ruined their home opener Oct. 9, trouncing the Flyers, 8-2.
The Sharks fired 48 shots and scored all eight goals against Brian Elliott, who is expected to get his third straight start Saturday.
San Jose (6-4-3) has stumbled lately, losing the first two games of their current home stand, falling to the New York Rangers in a shootout, 4-3, and dropping a 4-1 decision to Columbus.
