It's gameday for the San Jose Sharks. As the team starts to head back west, they're following up three losses in Tampa Bay, Florida, and Carolina with a game in St Louis. The Blues are a difficult team for the Sharks to play against, and we've already seen the Sharks beat and fall to the Blues this season. It should be an interesting game for the Sharks as some new faces appear for Team Teal.
With Mackenzie Blackwood now a member of the Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks will turn to their newest netminder, Alexandar Georgiev. The Bulgarian-born netminder will make his Sharks debut as the team looks to respond to those three straight defeats by getting back in the win column tonight. We've seen the Sharks struggle recently, and with two points from the Blues, they can take that positive feeling home to the Bay Area. It's not going to be easy, but it's the task at hand.

Puck Drop
It's a 5 p.m. puck drop from the midwest as the Sharks look to return to winning ways. We know the Sharks' struggles recently have stemmed from some problematic opponents. That isn't the case tonight; this is a game the Sharks can win. If they pick up the two points, we'll all feel a lot better ahead of the team's return after this road trip. They're going in the right direction.
