Good news for the San Jose Sharks. Injured goaltender Vitek Vanecek has recovered and has resumed practicing. However, the goaltender is not scheduled to be in the lineup for the time being.

The Sharks’ loss to Seattle marked the sixth time in the last seven games that they have given up three goals or more in a single period. To put that into more context, in January, 20 of the 32 teams managed to hold opposing teams, on average, to under three goals per game.

The Boston Bruins visit the New Jersey Devils after Charlie Coyle scored two goals in the Bruins' 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks.

The New Jersey Devils (26-17-6) will host the Boston Bruins (23-19-6) on Wednesday at the Prudential Center with the puck dropping at 7:00 PM ET.

Are the San Jose Sharks getting better? That’s been the big question recently, amidst another long losing streak. On one hand, after a 7-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night, the 14-32-6 Sharks have virtually the same record after 52 games as last year’s 14-33-5 Sharks.

The Bruins are in an incredibly tight Eastern Conference playoff race, so every point matters. Thus, a win against the Devils would be significant for them, as it would allow them to jump up in the standings. This is especially so when noting that the Bruins will also be playing the Senators tomorrow night as well.

After a tough 2-1 loss in Los Angeles, the Florida Panthers headed up the California coast and will face the San Jose Sharks tonight. While the Kings have somewhat owned the Panthers in recent years – they are 7-0-1 in the past three seasons with five straight home wins — the Sharks have not fared nearly as well.

With injuries mounting and the playoff race intensifying, the Bruins will lean on their depth to stay competitive.

While the Sharks began January with impressive home wins over the potentially playoff-bound Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils, they ended it by winning just two of their last 12 games, with a handful of those losses being blowouts, or just devastating.

The 2024-25 season looks to be just about over for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Any faint playoff hopes that may have been lingering died with their 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Jan.
