The San Jose Sharks get back into action tonight, praying to get back on track after recent abysmal performances. They head into Buffalo, New York to take on the Sabres for the second and final time this season.
The last time these two teams met was on Nov. 2, 2021, when the Sharks prevailed with a 5-3 final score. That was also in the midst of the team’s first COVID-19 outbreak which led to four of their six defensemen being call ups from the AHL San Jose Barracuda.
Ironically enough, the Sharks are now missing two of their regulars from their top-four defensive core, as both Erik Karlsson and Jake Middleton will miss tonight’s game due to injuries.
