Sharks at Jets preview

SHARKS (30-16-7) at JETS (34-16-2)
8 p.m. ET; TSN3, NBCSCA, NHL.TV

The 52-year-old will be the sixth coach to reach 1,500 NHL games (682-605-113 with 99 ties), joining Scotty Bowman (2,141 games), Joel Quenneville (1,636), Al Arbour (1,607), Barry Trotz (1,575 games) and Ken Hitchcock (1,568). Trotz was 55 when he coached his 1,500th game on Feb. 17, 2018 with the Washington Capitals.
The Jets, seeking their fourth straight win, are 9-3-0 in their past 12 games.
Erik Karlsson will miss his fifth straight game for the Sharks because of a lower-body injury and is day to day. Coach Peter DeBoer said he expects Karlsson to return at some point during San Jose's four-game road trip, which concludes at the Vancouver Canucks on Feb. 11.
San Jose looks to win its third straight following a three-game losing streak.

Players to watch

Sharks forward Joe Pavelski has six points (two goals, four assists) in a three-game point streak and is two assists shy of 400 in the NHL.
Jets forward Jack Roslovic has five points (four goals, one assist) in his past two games.

They said it

"It is special. I sent him a note this morning. … I coached with him his first year as a head coach in junior hockey in Detroit, I was 25, he was 26. Fifteen-hundred games is an absurd number of games. I look at that list that he's on, and I don't think anyone has done more with the teams that they've had." -- Sharks coach Peter DeBoer on Jets coach Paul Maurice
"It's funny. I've blown by a bunch of these numbers and not even known it was happening at the time. This one I'm getting a lot more calls on. This one seems to be a big number. Maybe I'm just getting older and they want to make sure they get a call in to me." -- Jets coach Paul Maurice
