Former Sharks on opponent: Wade Flaherty, goaltending coach

Jones got the night off (more rest) and Reimer got another shutout, as the Sharks win 3-0 over the Wild.  (But the Predators beat the Avalanche in regulation, so the Wild backed into clinching their playoff berth.) Sharks max points 100, and with Ducks and Kings both at 99 points and facing each other tonight, one will get 101 points, meaning the Sharks cannot win the Pacific division.

Sharks still have a chance at 2nd in division.

Jones starting.  Zubrus out; Tierney in.  Neither Vlasic nor Nieto returning to the lineup (yet).

Barracuda @ Rampage 160406

And the Cuda head to Texas for three games.  First up San Antonio.

Jevpalovs back from ECHL Allen.  Schoenborn to ECHL Allen.

Barracuda managed to get three past Budaj (only one from a hard angle), chasing him from the net in the second.  They didn’t need to get any past Howser, and Dell stood strong, making 35 saves.  3-1 win.

Cuda now head out for 6-game road trip before final RS game at home on April 17.  They are back in a playoff position, but need to keep winning to keep it.
