Sharks are coming back from a (relatively) short 3-game road trip, where they earned 5 of 6 points. But they’re hungry for more. They had the day off Friday/Halloween (so perhaps there will be some tweets of some of the costumes they’re having fun with). (As of Thursday night, the Sharks were one of two teams in the league who have played 12 games.) They’ll get a bit of a break with this game Saturday, and then time of practice before their next game on Thursday, and then heading back on the road (for seven games!). They lead the league in goals against in the third period, so that is definitely something to work on. (And overcome the TWO denied goals from incidental goalie contact.)
Islanders are 30th in PK, but are sitting 2nd in the Metropolitan division.
Sharks lost in a shootout when visiting the Islanders a couple of weeks ago.
It’ll be Tomas Hertl’s 50th NHL game. But he’ll be playing on the bottom 6.
Niemi scheduled to start for the Sharks (3rd in a row).
