The San Jose Sharks (18-51-9) visit the Seattle Kraken (33-31-13) for the final time this season and will clinch the best odds at the Draft Lottery with a regulation loss.
If the Chicago Blackhawks had beaten the St. Louis Blues yesterday, the Sharks would've come into tonight's game with the best odds already secured.
The Sharks and Kraken recently played in San Jose, where they saw the Kraken come out on top.
The Kraken fought for their playoff lives then but have since been eliminated from contention.
Joey Daccord will start in goal for the Kraken against his good friend Devin Cooley. Cooley and Daccord played in the USHL together and trained in Boston over the summer.
According to Sharks head coach David Quinn, Ryan Carpenter will come in for Mike Hoffman. Filip Zadina missed the Sharks last game with a lower-body injury and did not travel.
Sharks projected line combinations:
Eklund-Granlund-Zetterlund
Kostin-Kunin-Graf
Bordeleau-Studnicka-Bailey
Carpenter-Sturm-MacDonald
Ferraro-Rutta
Vlasic-Addison
Thrun-Burroughs
Cooley
Blackwood
Puck drop is at 7 p.m. and can be seen on NBC Sports California or the Sharks Audio Network.
