After another subpar homestand, the San Jose Sharks appear to be in good position as they begin a road-heavy stretch in the schedule.
That's because the Sharks have won seven in a row away from home heading into Friday night's matchup with the struggling Anaheim Ducks.
San Jose swept a six-game trip before returning to the SAP Center and dropping two of three, including Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh. The Sharks are 10-3-0 on the road and 4-7-0 at home.
They outshot the Penguins 34-29 and scored a power-play goal for the fourth straight game, but trailed 2-0 after a pass deflected off defenseman Paul Martin's skate and went past Martin Jones before Matt Cullen banked a rebound from behind the net off Jones' pad and in.
