The Sharks are looking to keep their winning ways alive as they continue their current road trip with a visit to Raleigh, North Carolina to take on the Hurricanes.
Team Teal kicked off their three-game roadie in excellent fashion with a come-from-behind victory over the Western Conference-leading Nashville Predators. Brendan Dillon, Joe Pavelski, and Brent Burns all scored third period goals to help elevate the Sharks over the Predators and keep their winning streak alive.
The Canes, on the other hand, are coming off a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings after losing three contests in a row. Carolina, who currently has the best puck possession in the entire NHL, has been idol since defeating the Red Wings in Detroit on Monday.
