With the trade deadline just around the corner, it’s strange that there are teams the San Jose Sharks (35-17-7, 2nd Pacific) still haven’t seen this season. The Boston Bruins (34-17-8, 2nd Atlantic) are rolling into town for the first time tonight, kicking off the season series that will conclude next Tuesday in Boston.
For the Sharks, now is the best time for them to be meeting against these heavyweight teams. They’re rolling, with just one loss in February and four total losses in the New Year. Fresh off a surprisingly hard-fought 3-2 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, the Sharks are feeling pretty good going into the final game in this homestand.
