"As for the game, the Sharks will play the New Jersey Devils tonight, looking for a bit of revenge after a tough loss in Jersey less than a week ago. The Sharks played a tight game but ultimately lost 3-1 after an empty net goal. This time, the Sharks are a bit more rested. It's not the second night of back-to-backs, which should give San Jose a bit more jump."
"That said, New Jersey is still one of the best teams in the league. The Devils have an 8-2-0 record, having just lost the team's second game of the season, an 8-4 back-and-forth with the Colorado Avalanche during the Frozen Frenzy. The Devils had one good period in which the team scored four goals, but other than that, it was a bit of a blowout."
San Jose will wear Heritage 2.0 jerseys and honor alumni Jeff Friesen, Kyle McLaren and Mark Smith during the game. Friesen was the Sharks' 11th overall pick in 1994, played nearly seven seasons and ranks ninth in franchise scoring. McLaren was noted for punishing defensive hits and once demonstrated "The Perfect Hit" on Shark Byte. Smith gained fan popularity for his distinctive hair and musical talent despite modest scoring. San Jose seeks revenge against the New Jersey Devils after a 3-1 loss; the Devils are 8-2-0. Michael Misa sits out; Patrick Giles, Sam Dickinson and Shakir Mukhamadullin will play, with Alex Nedeljkovic starting in goal.
