The Sharks are hot. On fire. Hot fire. Winners of seven in a row, San Jose is taking a quick jaunt to Arizona to face their in-division rivals. Are they rivals? No one really knows.
Arizona, on the other hand, has won just 50 percent of their last 10 games and remain in second-to-last place in the Pacific Division with a goal differential of -14. Not good, Bob.
The Desert Dogs’ record has been somewhat unkind to the team, however. Their goal differential is just one goal more negative than fourth-place Edmonton. Luckily for the ‘Yotes, Anaheim’s slide is in no danger of stopping soon, and the Kings are equally inept.
