League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: San Jose 6-1-3; Anaheim 4-4-2
The Sharks pay their second visit to the Honda Center. They spoiled the Ducks’ season-opener with a 4-1 victory at Anaheim on Oct. 3. The teams then meet three times in San Jose before the Sharks’ next and last visit on March 14.This is the second of a seven-game homestand that the Ducks have to turn into points if they hope to get back into the playoff race in the West. They couldn’t hold a 3-0 lead on Thursday night against Tampa Bay, but went home with two points when Scott Niedermayer scored a power-play goal 52 seconds into overtime for a 4-3 victory.

The Ducks will have to shut down San Jose’s top line to have any chance to win. Dany Heatley scored three goals and Joe Thornton had four assists in Friday’s 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Shark Tank.
Anaheim center Saku Koivu practiced Friday for the first time since going down with a groin strain that’s forced him to miss five games. He could return against the Sharks, as could defenseman James Wisniewski, who left Thursday’s game with a bruised foot but said it felt much better on Friday. … San Jose’s Brad Staubitz will miss a couple of weeks after taking a puck in the face during Monday’s practice.
Anaheim’s Corey Perry has a 13-game points streak, the longest in the NHL this season, and Ryan Getzlaf has points in 12 of his last 13. … Heatley’s hat trick gave him 17 goals, the most in the League. Thornton’s four assists gave him 24, also tops in the League. Summary of the match will be on site soon..
