Seeking success down the stretch, Canucks host Sharks

The San Jose Sharks will try to snap a seven-game losing streak on Thursday night when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.

Both teams are well out of the Stanley Cup playoff picture. San Jose (19-37-15, 53 points) has the worst record in the Western Conference and is just two points ahead of Columbus in the battle for the No. 1 spot in the NHL Draft Lottery on May 8. Vancouver (31-34-5, 67 points), which is 16 points behind Winnipeg for the final wild-card spot, has the eighth-worst record in the league.

With the likely first pick 17-year-old center Connor Bedard of the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League -- considered a generational talent and the most-hyped prospect since Connor McDavid -- there has been speculation that some teams might want to tank down the stretch to increase their odds in the draft lottery.
