San Jose at Washington

San Jose is on a 4-11 run and in a tough situational spot here, 3,000 miles from home playing the second of a back-to-back. The offense is #26 in goals scored and allowed and #27 in goalie save percentage. They squeezed out a 3-2 win at Columbus last night, so this is their third road game in four days. The Sharks are 5-12 as a road dog, plus 1-8 playing their third game in four days. Washington is a powerhouse all-around, fifth in goals scored and ninth in goals surrendered. Washington is on a 12-5 run, which included a 5-2 victory at San Jose, and they hold all the cards again. Play Washington.
