The San Jose Sharks (11-19-7, seventh Pacific) will end the year by visiting the Dallas Stars (22-9-6, first Central). The last time the Sharks visited Dallas on Nov. 11, the team scored five goals on 18 shots in Jake Oettinger’s first game back from injury, but this will forever be the game in which Logan Couture fought Jamie Benn.
