Ducks Look to Sweep Season Series in San Jose Rematch

The Ducks roll into SAP Center riding high after dismantling these same Sharks 6-2 just four days ago. That wasn't a game—it was a statement. Anaheim put up a half-dozen goals and made San Jose look like they were skating in quicksand. Now the question is whether the Sharks have any answers in the rematch or if they're just serving up another helping.

San Jose's got pride to play for, sure, but pride doesn't stop pucks. The Ducks found every soft spot in their defensive structure last Friday, and unless something drastic changed over the weekend, we're looking at more of the same. Anaheim's offensive depth was the story—they rolled lines and kept coming in waves. The Sharks? They managed two goals and a whole lot of frustration.

Home ice might give San Jose a slight emotional boost, but emotion only takes you so far when the other team is simply better right now. The Ducks have the momentum, they have the matchup figured out, and they're not flying up the coast to play nice.

Expect Anaheim to keep their foot on the gas. The Sharks need a complete 60-minute effort just to stay competitive, and based on what we saw four nights ago, that feels like a tall order. This one could get ugly again.
