Sharks fought the Oilers in a very defensive game, but prevailed in the shootout where Pavelski and Donskoi scored, but Jones let nothing in. The first time this season they’ve had a home win streak; four win streak on the line Saturday.  With 3 games in four days, the guys got an unscheduled day off Friday.

Now the Stars come ‘avisitin’. They were in Anaheim Friday night and had a frightening 4-2 loss with Lehtonen in net.  So that may mean that Niemi gets to defend the blue paint for the Stars against the Sharks.

With a healthy team, the Sharks are starting to “fire on all cylinders” now.  Missing key pieces in the first half of the season did not allow DeBoer to put players in positions to succeed, but moreso to stem the hemorrhaging.
