| |  | ANAHEIM: LAST SEASON: 54-20-8, 116 points. Won Pacific Division. Lost to Los Angeles in second round of playoffs.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau, 4th season with Ducks, 111-55-22; 8th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Ryan Kesler, C Nate Thompson, D Clayton Stoner, LW Dany Heatley.
LOST: G Jonas Hiller, RW Teemu Selanne, C Saku Koivu, C Nick Bonino, C Mathieu Perreault, C Daniel Winnik, D Luca Sbisa, D Stephane Robidas.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Devante Smith-Pelly. After bouncing between the NHL and the minors for three years, the speedy, tough-nosed right wing is poised to build on his breakthrough effort as Anaheim's top goal-scorer in the postseason. He's likely to get a chance to contribute on the deep Ducks' top three lines.
OUTLOOK: Kesler and Thompson make the Ducks tougher down the middle, and this deep, balanced club should be in position to contend for the Stanley Cup again. Anaheim is taking its biggest risk in net, hoping Frederik Andersen and prospect John Gibson are ready for full-time NHL duty. | | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau. |

*Ducks-Sharks Preview* ======================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Anaheim (32-10-6) at San Jose (25-17-6), 10:00 p.m. EDT
Anaheim is in position to win seven straight for the third time this season, and it's going to take a substantial disruption for the top team in the NHL to be pressured in the Pacific Division.
Still, the Ducks have something to prove Thursday night as they visit a San Jose Sharks team that's coming out of the All-Star break with the chance to forge a more personal seven-game streak.
The Sharks (25-17-6) have won the last six meetings in San Jose and have taken three of four overall matchups this season, accounting for 30 percent of the Ducks' regulation losses and clinching the five-game season series.
Anaheim (32-10-6) returned from the break in top form with Tuesday's 4-0 win in Vancouver. The Ducks have outscored opponents 25-10 in non-shootout goals during their run while killing off 18 of 20 power plays.
"We just wanted to go out there and start the week off right," defenseman Hampus Lindholm told the team's official website. "We did a very good job of that. The whole team is getting stronger. We feel like we're playing good out there. We just need to keep it up."
San Jose, playing its fifth date on a seven-game home stretch, is a distant second in the Pacific to Anaheim - 14 points back and one ahead of Vancouver and Calgary with Los Angeles also on its heels.
The Sharks are collectively 5-0-2 against Anaheim, the New York Islanders and Nashville - three of the four first-place teams - and they haven't played Detroit. However, though they've gone 3-1-1 in their last five, a 6-6-2 mark in the past 14 - during which they've allowed 3.21 goals per game - hasn't helped them make up ground in the division.
"We're a middle-of-the-pack team right now," coach Todd McLellan said. "Until we declare ourselves any different and that's through play and wins, that's what we are. We have to take steps forward to overcome that."
The Sharks defeated the Kings 4-2 last Wednesday going into the break. Joe Pavelski scored for the second straight game to give him 24 goals on the season, and he had two in the latest meeting with the Ducks - a 3-0 road win Dec. 31.
He's scored five times during a four-game goal streak in the series and has points in eight straight meetings.
Logan Couture had two goals and an assist against Los Angeles and recorded a goal and an assist New Year's Eve to give him 13 points in his last 10 against the Ducks.
"I don't know if we've played our best hockey yet," Couture said. "We're still improving, which is also positive. We realize we have a tough road ahead to get to the playoffs."
Some of that figures to fall on Antti Niemi's shoulders. He's won three of his last four starts, but has gone 5-4-2 with a 2.92 goals-against average in his past 11.
Niemi's most impressive showing during that stretch was a 28-save effort in the shutout of the Ducks. He's been in goal for each matchup this season, as well as all six games of the home winning streak against Anaheim with a 1.95 GAA.
Counterpart Frederik Andersen hasn't been nearly as good against the Sharks, going 1-5-0 with a 3.51 GAA. However, he's matched a career-best seven-game winning streak with a 2.07 GAA since losing to the Sharks last month.
Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry have each totaled five points in their last two trips to San Jose.
