San Jose at Philadelphia

San Jose has won three in a row to move into second place. This team has very good balance at #14 in the NHL in goals scored, and #16 in goals allowed. Being on the road has been much kinder to San Jose (10-8-0) than playing at home. The Sharks are halfway through a season-high, six-game trip and have posted four consecutive one-goal victories on the road overall. San Jose's Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton scored power-play goals just 25 seconds apart in the second period to put the Sharks ahead for good to beat the Bruins 5-4 on Tuesday. Philadelphia is #29 in goals scored and #22 in goals allowed with terrible specialty units. The Flyers are on a 2-9 run, including 0-5 at home. And the Sharks are 14-2-2 in the last 18 meetings. Play San Jose.
