And led by two goals from Desjardins, the Sharks scored 5 goals to the Stars 2 and are holding onto the 2nd wild card spot, two points ahead of the Kings.

But in many ways, it’s time to forget Thursday’s game and then focus through the hype of Saturday’s game.  It’s a lot more important than just playing for a lot of fans.

And before they even drop the puck, the Sharks are worse off than when the finished the game Tuesday, as they are now hanging on to the last wild card spot (with other teams having games in hand).

The Sharks managed to get out of Nashville before the weather turned even worse (but it did strand Matt Tennyson who was trying to get back to Worcester).

Now, the Sharks face the Dallas Stars.  In a recent game, the Stars lost two of their key players to injury, including Seguin. The Stars have two games in hand and are four points behind the Sharks, so a loss could be providing even more pressure on the Sharks playoff hopes. (Former Shark Travis Moen was put on IR Wednesday.)

This will be the first time Dillon and Demers will face their old team since the trade.
