The action will hit the ice in San Jose tonight, where the Stars have won eight of their past nine visits. With Sergei Zubov still not fully recovered from sports hernia surgery, the Sharks will take advantage with a slick Patrick Marleau, who has skated around Zubov and intends to do it again to save the team from playoff elimination.

"I think they're going to feel the pressure now," Sharks defenceman Christian Ehrhoff told reporters Thursday. "They know if we take another game, it's going to be tighter and tighter for them."
