NHL.com Preview:

San Jose did not skate Wednesday after starting a five-game road trip with a 4-2 win at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. It's the third time this season the Sharks have started a long road trip with a victory; their 3-2 win Nov. 13 at the Detroit Red Wings started a 6-0-0 trip, and a victory Dec. 15 at the Montreal Canadiens sparked a 3-1-1 five-game trip. "There's a real good confidence level," Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said Tuesday, according to CSNCalifornia.com. "We feel like we can win every game that we're playing." (More)

Yahoo.com Preview:

The San Jose Sharks are showing no signs of slowing down entering their second stop on five-game road trip Thursday night, while the Florida Panthers' first three on a six-game homestand have been a struggle. Tuesday's 4-2 win in Tampa Bay got the Sharks to 19-8-2 on the road a season after finishing 21-16-4, and all but one win in a 7-2-0 stretch in opponents' buildings has come by at least two goals. "It's a good start," said Joe Thornton, who had two assists to give him three goals and six assists on a six-game point streak, as well as 34 points in his last 26 contests after opening the season with 16 in 29.
