The San Jose Sharks came back from 3-0 deficit last night to force overtime against the Vegas Golden Knights, and now the two teams are back at it, just one day later. Earning a point against Vegas was probably the best the Sharks could hope for. The Sharks sit 12 points behind Vegas in the West Division standings.
Devan Dubnyk will start in net for the Sharks, after coming in to relieve Martin Jones in the second period of last night’s game. According to Pete DeBoer, the Golden Knights may have some game-time lineup decisions.
