The San Jose Sharks host the Seattle Kraken tonight in what’s being called fan appreciation night. While the Sharks have a few more games at SAP Center before the end of the season, this is the last Saturday night game of the season, which is why the team is doing Fan Appreciation night now.
This is the final meeting of the season between these two teams. The Sharks lost the last meeting 6-2 on Jan. 30, but the Nov. 29 and Nov. 30 back-to-back wins by scores of 8-5 and 4-2, respectively, were two of the biggest highlights of this Sharks season.
The Kraken may be without Jaden Schwartz and Eeli Tolvanen, who are two of the team’s top scorers. Jaden Schwartz, who is the team’s top goal scorer, and Eeli Tolvanen, the team’s second highest goal scorer are both game time decisions. Jared McCann, who leads the team with 55 points is expected to play.
