TONIGHT’S OPPONENT – MONTREAL CANADIENS
Montreal and San Jose will finish their two-game season series tonight at SAP Center at San Jose. The Sharks took the first leg, 4-0, at Bell Centre on Nov. 30, 2022. Logan Couture (1g, 1a), Tomas Hertl (2g, 0a) and Kevin Labanc (0g, 2a) recorded multi-point outings and Kaapo Kahkonen earned a 28-save shutout. Historically, the Sharks have fared well against the Canadiens at home, with a 12-1-0 record at SAP Center since the beginning of the century, including a 12-game home winning streak that was ended last season. Montreal is playing the first game of a four-game Pacific division swing, with upcoming contests at Los Angeles (Mach 2), Anaheim (March 3) and Vegas (March 5). The Canadiens made a trade on Sunday, acquiring winger Denis Gurianov in exchange for Evgenii Dadonov.
