Sharks Love Facing Anaheim at Home

The San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks have developed a healthy rivalry over the last few years, and the two California clubs are set to square off once again in Northern California in their first clash of the 2015/16 NHL campaign. San Jose kicked off the Pete DeBoer era with a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in its season opener, while the Ducks will be making their season debut.

Shark Bites
  • San Jose won the season series last year 4-0-1.
  • Dating back to last year, the Sharks are 2-12 in Saturday games.
  • Ducks RW Jakob Silfverberg will not play after taking an elbow in the head from Raffi Torres last week.

The confines of SAP Centre at San Jose haven’t been friendly to the Ducks in recent clashes. Anaheim is winless in its last seven trips to San Jose.

The Sharks will be attempting to start the season off on the right foot by picking up their second victory after what was a disastrous 2014/15 campaign. San Jose finished 12th in the Western Conference with a 40-33-9 SU record, a far cry from the perennially playoff-bound team we’ve become accustomed to seeing in recent years.
