This is the second meeting this season between the Sharks (9-20-3) and the Coyotes (16-13-2), who have been streaky of late. They reeled off five straight wins from Nov. 25 to Dec. 4 before they began a four-game skid.
Arizona snapped that losing streak with a 1-0 victory over the Sharks on Dec. 15, and have now won three in a row and are in the Western Conference’s second wild-card spot.

The Sharks have lost three straight games and entered Thursday in 32nd and last place in the NHL’s overall standings with a .328 points percentage.
Sharks coach David Quinn said Thursday that he wanted to see his team play with just “a little more pace.”
“I thought it was a little bit of a sluggish game for us from start to finish,” he added. “There was an uptick in our play in the third period, but it was just an OK game in a lot of areas, and OK isn’t going to cut it in this league. We’ve got to work from the get-go.”
