"Look to see how the San Jose Sharks respond tonight after what Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky called an "immature" game last night against the Ottawa Senators. The Sharks fell to the Senators 3-2 in regulation, giving up the puck more than twice as much as Ottawa. The response from the team tonight will show just how far the players have come and where they are in their development."
"It will not be an easy task. The Boston Bruins are 13-10-0 for the season and appear to be back on track after missing the playoffs last season. David Pasternak is once again one of the top players in the league with 28 points in 23 games. Morgan Geekie has 16 goals this season and trails only Nathan MacKinnon in goal scoring league-wide."
"In the net, a full preseason appears to have goaltender Jeremy Swayman back on track. Swayman is 9-5-0 this season with a 2.84 goals against average and a .907 save percentage. Behind the bench, there's also a familiar face. Former Shark Marco Sturm is in his first season as an NHL head coach. Sturm had a rocky start behind the bench for the Bruins, but he has his team on track now."
The San Jose Sharks look to rebound after a 3-2 regulation loss in which they surrendered puck possession more than twice as often as the opponent. The Sharks' response will indicate player progress and developmental standing. The Boston Bruins sit at 13-10-0 with top scorers David Pastrnak (28 points in 23 games) and Morgan Geekie (16 goals), and goaltender Jeremy Swayman has steadied with a 2.84 GAA and .907 save percentage. Marco Sturm is in his first season as Boston head coach. San Jose likely starts Yaroslav Askarov in net while defensive spots remain uncertain.
