SAN JOSE – Despite clinching the league’s best record on the road, and owning its third-worst at home, the Sharks are hopeful they’ll be able to begin their 2016 Stanley Cup Playoff run in their own building.
To do it they’ll likely need to win both of their final two games and hope the Ducks and/or Kings, who are both three points ahead in the Pacific Division, falter.
The Sharks host the Jets on Thursday and Coyotes on Saturday to close out the regular season.
“There’s an opportunity to get home ice. We’re going to play like we want it, hopefully,” Logan Couture said.
