The San Jose Sharks hopes to snap the three game losing streak with the addition of Radim Simek, activated off of injured reserve. Simek has four points in just 16 games for San Jose this season, however the Sharks are 11-4-1 with him in the lineup.
A win tonight would be an excellent way to start after the post-Christmas break against a similarly slumping Los Angeles Kings team that has gone 0-2-1 in their last three. San Jose has gone 1-8-1 in their last 10 games after a good start, and a game against the Kings may be just what the Sharks need to get back on track.
