This is the sixth and final regular-season meeting between these Pacific Division rivals who clashed in the first round of the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs. San Jose has gotten its share of payback for getting ousted by eighth-seeded Anaheim in a major upset, coming back to win all five matchups this season and outscoring the Ducks by a 19-7 margin. Patrick Marleau of the Sharks leads all scorers with five goals. Joe Thornton has chipped in four.
Anaheim won six of eight games heading into the Olympic break, providing reason to believe the Ducks might make another late run into the postseason. But they’ve gone 0-4-1 since play resumed and watched as those hopes all but faded away. San Jose, on the other hand, enters Sunday holding a three-point lead over Chicago for the top seed in the Western Conference. Each team has 15 games remaining.
San Jose defenseman Douglas Murray missed Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and is questionable. Fellow blueliner Marc-Edouard Vlasic is on injured reserve with a knee injury. … Anaheim forward Joffrey Lupul has been out since having back surgery in December. We will post live score and results of this match, as soon as posible.
