The San Jose Sharks are nearing the end of their longest road trip, boosted by their recent win against the Maple Leafs, while they prepare to face the Buffalo Sabres, who also recently played. Both teams are on equal footing, but the Sharks contend with a poor historical record against Buffalo. Meanwhile, trade speculation surrounds some of their players, adding complexity to the game. Missing top scorer Jason Zucker puts the Sabres at a slight disadvantage, yet stars like Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch pose serious threats for the Sharks.
