-UPDATE: Ryan Kesler took a puck off the heel last night and is limping badly today. He is a game time decision, according to Dan Murphy on Twitter (h/t eightyseven)
-Canucks are 3-5-1 against the Sharks over the past couple seasons.
-The Sharks are coming of a 1-0 win over the Kings on Saturday and have won 4 of their last 6. This will be a tough challenge for the Canucks in a back-to-back situation. The Sharks are killer on the power play so the Canucks will have to remedy their discipline issues that were present in the Avalanche game.
-The Sharks trail the Dallas Stars by 3 points for the Pacific Division lead. They trail the Canucks by 6 points.
