The Winnipeg Jets are visiting and they’ve brought the San Jose Sharks a nice little present in the form of five positive COIVD tests. The game has been postponed slightly, as the Sharks try to wrangle a line up without their head coach, who is also on the COVID list. Assistant Coach John MacLean will be coaching the Sharks tonight.
