This is a 10* on SAN JOSE

Earlier in the week, we saw the Coyotes do something that no one else has been able to do recently and that’s beat the Avalanche. The 5-4 win did require a shootout, but beating the Avs in any fashion right now is pretty darn impressive. The ‘Yotes get to stay at home this weekend as San Jose comes to town. The Sharks just took two from the Kings and they are sitting in second to last place in the division right now. They are three points behind Arizona, but have a slightly better goal differential (-17 vs. -18). Arizona deserves credit for beating Colorado, but they’d lost six of seven before that win and the other win was against Anaheim. One regulation win in eight games is pretty bad and with depth concern between the pipes, we see this team being in trouble. San Jose goalie Martin Jones is coming off two straight 40+ save efforts. The Sharks have won five of their last six against teams that have losing records. Play on SAN JOSE
