Late Night Panthers at Sharks: How to Watch, Lines, Goalies, Odds

After beating the Kings on Thursday night, the Florida Panthers are feeling a little better about their road play — and there is no place they feel more comfortable on the road than in San Jose against the Sharks.

The Panthers have won their past eight games at SAP Center and 12 straight against the Sharks.

Of course, San Jose is much improved as we wrote about HERE; the Sharks were right impressive Friday night in a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Will Smith scored the game-winner with 4:21 left off a rebound from NHL-leading scorer Macklin Celebrini.

Yes, NHL leading scorer Macklin Celebrini who has 18 points (eight goals) in his past 10 games.

The Sharks have won four of five and five of seven.
