It's been a long season on the road and tonight the Sharks will play their final regular season road game against the Wild. While San Jose has been rather disappointing at home, their success playing away from SAP Center is the reason why they'll be playing more games after Saturday's regular season finale.
While they are still in contention for home ice for the first-round of the playoffs, there's no reason to believe they wouldn't be able to go 1-1 or even 2-0 in the opening two games of the playoffs if they finish third in the Pacific.
