SAN JOSE SHARKS NOTES:
LAST GAME
Game 45 – 1/16 – SJS 3 vs. NJD 4 (SO)…Timo Meier (1g, 1a), Erik Karlsson (1g, 1a) and Mikey Eyssimont (0g, 2a) recorded multipoint games for the Sharks, but a late rally from the New Jersey Devils to tie the game in the final minute prevented the home team from grabbing the extra point as San Jose fell 4-3 in a shootout. Karlsson’s two points brought his Sharks career total to 200, the fourth-ever Sharks blue-liner to reach the milestone, and Meier’s marker was his team-best 25th of the season. Eyssimont’s points were his first with San Jose. Nick Bonino (1g, 0a) notched his sixth goal of the campaign to put San Jose ahead 3-2 in the third.

TONIGHT’S OPPONENT: DALLAS STARS
The Dallas Stars begin a Golden State back-to-back Wednesday at San Jose, coming into the twin bill with points in four of the last five tilts, a 3-1-1 record in that span. The teams have split two meetings coming into the season series finale on Wednesday, both of the first pair of tilts coming at Dallas. The Stars are paced by Jason Robertson’s 60 points and 29 goals, one of only five 60-point scorers in the NHL, and the forward has registered two-point efforts in each game against the Sharks. Between the pipes, Stars backstop Jake Oettinger is fourth in the NHL with 20 wins and boasts a 2.21 GAA and .926 SVP.
