Struggling Sharks to Face Canadiens in Homestand Opener
After a series of losses, the Sharks are looking to turn their season around against the recently victorious Canadiens.
- The San Jose Sharks, currently with the fewest points and wins in the NHL, are set to open a three-game homestand against the Montreal Canadiens.
- Coming off a 'embarrassing' 7-1 loss to the Kraken, Sharks' coach David Quinn berated his team for their lack of readiness and intention to play.
- The Sharks have a poor road record this season, with 0 wins and 9 losses.
- Montreal Canadiens, on the other hand, are coming off a 4-3 victory against Anaheim Ducks, breaking a four-game losing streak.
- Alexander Newhook, who scored two goals in the last game, including the game-winner, is expected to be a key player for the Canadiens.
