After splitting back-to-back games over the weekend, the Sharks return home and host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Burns scored two and the team needed the ENG Pavelski scored as the Avalanche came back late and scored to make it a one goal game.

The Sharks had an optional practice on Monday with Jones, Stalock, Torres and Smith on the ice, under the watchful eyes of Hedberg and Marchment.

Tuesday will be the first (of 3 scheduled) game(s) that the team will wear the 25th anniversary Heritage Jerseys.

The Blue Jackets flew into San Jose early on Sunday.  On Monday, (new) coach Tortorella refused to indicate who his starter would be against the Sharks, nor who the scratches might be. Their confidence is being questioned. What/how can you fix things, when everything seems to be broken?

Even though Columbus is 2-10 for October, their worst month in franchise history, and at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division and the entire league in standings, the Sharks are not taking the team lightly.  Injuries pulled them down last year, and on paper they have a much better team this season.

Patrick Marleau is sitting at 996 points.  Teammates and coaches are impressed with his long career.
