The San Jose Sharks are back at it again, turning around quickly after last night’s loss to the Boston Bruins to host the Seattle Kraken. The good news is that Seattle is the only team in the Pacific worse than San Jose, but the bad news is that the Sharks still aren’t very good and that’s not going to be fun to watch. I can’t blame folks who are thinking about skipping this one.
Here’s everything you need to know to tune in:
