The San Jose Sharks wrap up a five-game home stand with a rare early evening contest at SAP Center as they host the Toronto Maple Leafs who have shown signs of improvement under first-year coach Mike Babcock.
The Sharks are in desperate need of a victory as San Jose has dropped three of the first four games on this home stand as they continue their slide in the Pacific Division. While the Sharks have played two fewer games than most teams in the division, they need to turn the games in hand into points otherwise they won’t matter.
