150321 – pregame Sharks @ Canadiens 4pm PT

Sharks are coming off their win in Toronto, Canadiens a win in Carolina.

Habs would like to have a different outcome from the shutout they suffered in California at the Sharks’ hands.

Sharks had an optional skate on Friday.

My guess is it’ll be Niemi vs Price in nets.
