"The San Jose Sharks have had a bit of time to brush off the fluke loss on Thursday night and will return to the ice tonight to try to make up for the loss. This could be the team's best chance to show that it is not the same team that took the ice last season and that it has taken a step forward."
"The Ducks are sporting a revamped roster with a new bench boss in Joel Quenneville and some new forwards in Chris Kreider and Mikael Granlund. Locking down forward Mason McTavish and defenseman Jackspon LaCombe certainly helps the team in terms of stability. In the net, Anaheim traded goaltender John Gibson in the summer, clearing the way for Lukas Dostal to claim the net for himself."
San Jose looks to rebound from a fluke loss and prove it has improved from last season while hosting the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim upgraded its roster with coach Joel Quenneville, forwards Chris Kreider and Mikael Granlund, and locked in Mason McTavish and Jackspon LaCombe for stability. Anaheim traded John Gibson, giving Lukas Dostal the starting job with Petr Mrazek as backup, placing pressure on the young netminder. 2024 third overall pick Beckett Sennecke has shown promise and inconsistency, scoring in preseason and his first NHL goal in the season opener. Leo Carlsson is developing into a top NHL center. Sharks will tweak defense; Micheal Misa remains out.
