How will the Red Wings stack up against San Jose?
There is trouble in Shark land. The Evander Kane debacle needs to disappear if the Sharks have any chance of salvaging a season before it begins. With some cap room available, the Sharks need to make some moves or they will likely miss the playoffs for a third consecutive season. San Jose and Detroit should split the two game series.
