The arena dubbed The Shark Tank has been one of the NHLs most feared stops in recent years with the San Jose Sharks regularly playing their best hockey on home ice. Their results at home this season have been nothing short of streaky. Viewers in the Leafs region can watch the game on TSN4 starting at 10pm et. San Jose looks to avoid a fourth consecutive home loss as it begins a seven-game homestand Thursday night against the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs. The Sharks (23-16-5) havent suffered more than 12 regulation home losses in a season since posting 13 in 2007-08. They went 29-7-5 at SAP Center last season, but have already matched that regulation loss total with a 10-7-2 mark in 14-15. San Jose dropped six of its first eight at home and followed that stretch with an eight-game win streak before being outscored 13-4 during the current home skid. After falling 3-1 at home to the New York Rangers on Saturday, San Jose got a rare goal from defenseman Brenden Dillon in the third period for a 3-2 win at Arizona on Tuesday. Any win is a good win, no matter how you get it, coach Todd McLellan said. Putting points in the bank is essential at this time of the year, and it will eventually get to the point where if you can keep winning, other teams will run out of time. We have to do our own work. The Sharks are just 4-5-1 overall following a season-best five-game winning streak, but theyve remained confident even while allowing the first goal in four straight. When we fall down early, the guys dont quit and we keep going, said Joe Pavelski, who scored against the Coyotes and has five goals and three assists over his last seven. It was good to cash in quickly there in the second (period Tuesday) and know that we were all ready to go. There were good chances. Pavelski had two goals and an assist, and Joe Thornton added three assists in a 6-2 home win over Toronto in the most recent meeting March 11 that was the Sharks third straight victory in the series. This trip to San Jose may be just as difficult for the Maple Leafs (22-19-3) if they cant find their offense. Theyve been outscored 14-2 during a four-game road skid and havent found the net to start a four-game trip, falling 2-0 to Los Angeles on Monday before Wednesdays 4-0 loss to Anaheim. Toronto has lost five of six overall and fell to 1-3-0 under interim coach Peter Horachek, who took over for the fired Randy Carlyle on Jan. 6. We have a lot of firepower, (and) we will find ways to score, forward James van Riemsdyk said. If you look at the games, the scoring chances have been pretty even the last couple here. Were pretty happy with our process. We just have to capitalize on our chances. Jonathan Bernier made 21 saves against the Ducks, leaving the possibility that James Reimer could start in net to complete the back-to-back set. Reimer, though, has a 4.30 goals-against average while dropping four straight starts - all on the road - with the most recent a 5-1 loss to Winnipeg on Jan. 3. Antti Niemi has posted a 1.67 GAA in his last three starts against the Leafs and is likely to be in net for this contest. He made 27 saves against Arizona after going 1-3-0 with a 4.56 GAA in his first four starts of 2015. Air Max 1 Sale Cheap . He had spent 16 days on the disabled list before being activated Thursday.

If they lose, Germany will get the last quarter-final berth.Were probably a few weeks away still before teams really get serious about moving pitchers, possibly the likes of Jeff Samardzija, David Price, James Shields and Jason Hamel. In fact the way the Royals are playing and Shields is pitching, you can probably scratch him off the list completely. The Royals have won seven in a row and have climbed to within a game and a half of the Central-leading Tigers heading into a key four-game set at Comerica Park in Detroit on Monday night. Shields is their staff ace at 8-3 and is on a personal 5-0 run. One more quality arm might be all it takes to make the Blue Jays the team to beat in the American League. Thinking about that brought back memories of the greatest pitcher the Blue Jays almost acquired at the July 31st non-waiver deadline, but didnt. Pat Gillick was looking for that something extra in 1993 to put the Blue Jays over the top for a second straight World Series title. He was talking to Oakland about Rickey Henderson, and also Seattle about towering lefty Randy Johnson who was just beginning to come into his own at age 29. Gillick preferred the Johnson deal that would have sent right-handers Steve Karsay and Mike Timlin to the Mariners. Trouble was Seattle GM Woody Woodward was out golfing and in the era before cell phones, Gillick couldnt get a hold of him. In the meantime, As GM Sandy Alderson called back and accepted the Henderson deal for Karsay and a player to be named later (outfielder Jose Herrera). But even then, there was a minor hitch. Rickey wanted to be compensated for giving up his right of refusal on a trade. While that was being negotiated, Woodward called Gillick back and wanted to do the Johnson deal. Gillick had already given his word to Alderson and turned down the Johnson deal. As the clock ticked down, the Jays finally got the Rickey Henderson deal completed. In the short term, all of this paid off for the Blue Jays as they won their second straight championship. Rickey wasnt a huge contributor, but he was always a threat for the other team to worry about at the plate and on the bases. Henderson, though, was in a contract year and left as a free agent in the off-season. Would the Jays have been better off with Randy Johnson? Hard to say. There is no question Johnsons career really took off from that point. Through the 93 season, Johnsons record was 75-69 and he had been an All-Star twice and a runner-up for the Cy Young Award. After that he went 228-97 was an All-Star eight more times and won the Cy Young five times. Yet for all of that, he only won the World Series once, with Arizona in 2001. The Blue Jays in 1997 went out and signed Roger Clemens as a freee agent after he opted to leave Boston.dddddddddddd Clemens won back-to-back Cy Youngs with the Blue Jays yet they didnt make it to the post-season and attendance didnt get the boost most expected, even on the days Clemens was pitching. You wonder as well if the Jays had already landed Johnson, would they even have bothered to pursue Clemens in 97? If they did, the Jays could have had the same double barreled threat Arizona did when they had Johnson and Curt Schilling and defeated the Yankees in 2001. It makes for a great talking point, but at the end of the day, the Blue Jays still have that second straight World Series crown from 1993. Everything else is supposition. Tiger of the Future? When Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias went down for the season with stress fractures in his legs, Detroit was left with a huge hole to fill at short. Danny Worth, Alex Gonzalez and Andrew Romine were all found wanting. But the Tigers may finally have their answer in rookie Eugenio Suarez, a 23-year-old out of Venezuela. Granted hes only had 24 at-bats, but Suarez is hitting .375 with three homers. This past Saturday against the Twins, he had a homer, a double and a triple. The last Tigers rookie to pull that off was catcher Bill Freehan back on May 7, 1963 versus the Yankees. A couple of Hall of Famers, Frank Robinson and Ted Williams managed to pull off that feat in their rookie seasons as well. If the Tigers still choose to go the veteran route at short, the Phillies Jimmy Rollins could be available after all. After breaking Hall of Famer Mike Schmidts franchise hit record on Saturday, Rollins added another one Sunday bringing his career total to 2,236. He said afterwards he would consider waving his no trade rights if the Phillies brass decided it was time to "blow it up" and rebuild. Swing and a Miss White Sox slugger Adam Dunn is in "hot" pursuit of a rather dubious record. He has moved into fourth place on the all-time strikeouts list with 2,295. He is only 11 back of Sammy Sosa for third and 302 back of strikeout king Reggie Jackson. Interesting that three of the top 10 are in Cooperstown, including Jackson, Willie Stargell and Mike Schmidt. Rough Ride Whether the Jays are fast-tracking Aaron Sanchez for a trip to the Majors or are showcasing him for a trade to get a veteran arm, his first start for Triple-A Buffalo was a little bit rocky Saturday at Toledo. The first-round draft pick from 2010 was knocked out in the 5th inning after giving up four earned runs, six hits and four walks. The Mudhens also stole four bases. Though a tad wild, Sanchez did hit a peak of 97 miles per hour on the radar gun. ' ' '
