Ya Ya I know we're playing the 5th game in 8 nights in 4 cities. Big Deal. These guys can hack it.

There will be no fatigue vs the San Jose Sharks today at Rogers Arena.

San Jose at Vancouver

Where: Rogers Arena, Vancouver, British Columbia
Rogers Sportsnet Pacific

San Jose has the NHL's third-worst penalty kill with a 75.2 percent conversion rate. The Sharks will be put to the test by Vancouver, which boasts the league's best power play (24.2 percent).

Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin secured at least one point in all but three games in December. As a result, Sedin pulled ahead of Philadelphia's Claude Giroux for the NHL lead with 46 points.

Just like that Marleau scores 2-1 Sharks. Ballard could have done more there. #Canucks

[The Q]

Shots 16-2 in favor of the Sharks here in the second period.

[The Q]

Game saving save by Luongo there on Thornton? Ballard gives up another huge chance. Remember that save at the 6 min mark if Van wins.
