"The Sharks should have an extra incentive not to let Vegas win tonight. Carter Hart is expected to start. A win would give Hart his 100th career win, something I think we can all agree should not happen on San Jose's watch. As one sports writer pointed out, Hart has not rescued the Golden Knights as some believed. The Knights were 5-0-2 prior to signing the goaltender and are now 11-8-8 since the signing."
"The Golden Knights will be without top defenseman Shea Theodore. He was placed on IR and will be week-to-week. Dylan Coghlan was recalled from the Henderson Silver Knights in a corresponding move. Vegas might also be without top scorer Jack Eichel, who was listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. William Karlsson is out longer term with a lower-body injury. Eichel is the team's top scorer with 41 points, but again, whether he plays tonight is questionable."
The San Jose Sharks travel to Las Vegas aiming to halt a two-game losing streak before the holiday break. They play the Vegas Golden Knights, who sit second in the Pacific Division. Carter Hart is expected to start for Vegas and could reach his 100th career win. The Golden Knights' performance since signing Hart has dipped compared with before the signing. Vegas will be without Shea Theodore (IR, week-to-week) and possibly Jack Eichel (day-to-day), while Dylan Coghlan was recalled. Akira Schmid has taken over net duties; Hart has a smaller sample with a .903 save percentage. The teams have split earlier meetings this season.
