San Jose, California - The San Jose Sharks are coming into tonight's action on a bit of a skid. The last 10 games for the Sharks have resulted in a 4-4-2 record, something that the team looks to change in the coming games. This mini-slump has dropped them into 4th position in the Western conference.
The Sharks look to change the slide to a climb tonight versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. Look to see a few different line combinations on the ice for the Sharks tonight, and rumour has it that Cristobal Huet will be in net come game time. GM Astles said this in a pre-game interview, "We are just trying to get back on the winning track, Jose [Theodore] is still our guy, sometimes you just need to look in other places to get back on track". There have been no leaks as to who would be on what lines, but look for Patrick Elias to be on the first line again with Demitra and Forsberg.
