The San Jose Sharks are back on the West Coast for one final matchup before the holiday break. Standing in their way are the Los Angeles Kings who are leading the pack in the mediocre Pacific Division.
The Sharks and Kings have split their two meetings this season with each team scoring a blowout victory on the other team’s home ice. San Jose took the season opener with a 5-1 win at Staples, while Los Angeles answered back with a 4-1 victory at SAP Center two weeks later.
It will be a big test for the Sharks as they have reached the tail end of their five-game road trip.
