San Jose at Vancouver

These teams already have met three times this season, Vancouver winning the first two, and the Canucks have won 13 of the past 16 meetings. The Canucks have won six of their past eight games although they did lose 4-3 in overtime at Dallas on Thursday, but it was their fourth road game in six days. Now the Canucks are back home where they have won 12 of 16 this season and San Jose has lost 14 of 17 on the road. The Sharks had a brief period where they were winning a few games, but they have reverted to their early-season form and have lost four in a row while scoring only five goals. Kaapo Kahkonen is expected in net for San Jose with a 5-8-1 record and 3.61 GAA, and Thatcher Demko is 16-7-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 save percentage for Vancouver. The Sharks are 12-45 their past 57 games against Pacific Division foes. Take the Canucks.
