The San Jose Sharks return home to the SAP Center tonight, as they’ll host the Buffalo Sabres for the two teams’ final meeting this season.
The Sabres have won nine of their last ten games, including two in a row. They defeated the Sharks just over a week ago at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, with a final score of 6-3.
The Sharks on the other hand have been on a skid as of late, losing their last two games. With the playoff race heating up, they're going to have to get into the win column soon if they don't want to fall further behind and tonight will be one of their toughest tests.
The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports California in the Bay Area, while for those in Upstate New York will be able to watch on MSG-B.
Alex Nedeljkovic will be between the pipes for the San Jose Sharks, while the Buffalo Sabres will start Alex Lyon.
