KEY GAME INFORMATION
SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 45-27-10, 100 points. Third place in Pacific Division.
LOST to Vegas Golden Knights in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Peter DeBoer (fourth season, 11th NHL season).
ADDED: D Erik Karlsson, F Antti Suomela, F Rourke Chartier.
LOST: F Chris Tierney, D Dylan DeMelo, F Mikkel Boedker, F Eric Fehr, F Joel Ward, F Jannik Hansen, D Paul Martin.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Karlsson. The Sharks
ADDED the two-time Norris Trophy-winning defenseman on the eve of training camp in a blockbuster move. Karlsson is an elite playmaker and defenseman and should provide a major boost to San Jose on the power play, as well as five-on-five play.
OUTLOOK: Ever since acquiring Joe Thornton in general manager Doug Wilson's first blockbuster trade back in 2005, the Sharks have viewed themselves as Stanley Cup contenders almost every season. That is clearly the case this year after adding Karlsson to a defensive unit that already featured 2016 Norris winner Brent Burns and shut-down defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The Sharks are potentially thin at center and will need a healthy season from Thornton at age 39 after two straight years with major knee injuries in order to challenge for the Cup.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 47-29-6, 100 points. Finished second in Metropolitan Division.
LOST to Washington Capitals in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (fourth season, sixth NHL season).
ADDED: D Jack Johnson, C Matt Cullen.
LOST: F Conor Sheary, F Tom Kuhnhackl, D Matt Hunwick, F Carter Rowney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Matt Murray. The 24-year-old endured an up and down first season as the franchise's full-time starter. His goals against average (2.92) and save percentage (.907) all took significant dips off his previous two seasons. Having spotty play in front of him didn't help. If Murray can return to the steady form that helped the Penguins to consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, Pittsburgh will be a tough out in the postseason.
OUTLOOK: Pittsburgh's bid to become the first team in more than 30 years to "threepeat" ended with a loss to Washington. They opted to tinker than totally retool in the offseason, splurging on Johnson and bringing back the 42-year-old Cullen to provide depth down the middle. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin around, the Penguins will always be in the mix. But with the core of Crosby, Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang all in their early 30s, staying fresh for eight months will be a challenge.
PREVIEW
Penguins finding groove ahead of visit from Sharks

The Pittsburgh Penguins might finally be figuring out who they are and how they need to play.

Entering Thursday's home game against the San Jose Sharks, the Penguins seemingly fluctuate nightly between being on the cusp of missing the playoffs and vying for the title in the tight Metropolitan Division, but they like what they've seen lately.

Pittsburgh (32-21-7, 71 points) has won four of its past five games. In particular, a 4-3 win Tuesday at New Jersey seemed to offer a good blueprint.

"When we talk about a team identity and how we're trying to play, and what does Penguins hockey look like, that's it," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "We're defending up the ice with our puck pursuit, and it's a five-man unit and it's cooperative play.

"When we add the urgency that we played with, with the sense of purpose that we played with, we're hard to . That's when I think our team controls territory and we can spend a lot of time in the offensive zone."

The Penguins seem to have settled into a good groove with their personnel. All four lines clicked against New Jersey, yet there is competition for a couple of forward spots and at least one spot on defense.

"It's great for the team," said Pittsburgh winger Tanner Pearson, one of those who has been in and out of the lineup. "It's great to be in a competitive environment. It gives you more than it takes, for sure. It gets you more prepared. You have to stay in it, stay engaged."

San Jose (35-17-8, 78 points) has established itself as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, so the Sharks are more in the mode of refining their game. They are 6-1-1 in February and will be kicking off a four-game road trip through the Eastern Conference.

The Sharks are coming off 6-5 overtime loss Monday against Boston, including a rare Joe Thornton hat trick (against his former team), in a game where they fell behind 3-0 before clawing back.

San Jose, whose identity for years has included a strong defensive game, has scored five or more goals in four of its past six games, going 4-1-1, but the Sharks don't necessarily want to depend on piling up so many goals.

"We definitely have confidence we can score goals, but we don't want to get into track meets," forward Joe Pavelski said.

Another area of concern is a recent propensity to take too many penalties. San Jose killed just two of four Boston power plays and has been short-handed 32 times in eight games this month.

"We've got to clean that up," coach Pete DeBoer said.

Pittsburgh is 5 of 10 on the power play over its past three games and ranks in the top five in the NHL with a 24.8 percent success rate.

Sharks center Logan Couture called his team's infractions "just lazy penalties."

"When you're penalized (five) times in Winnipeg, (seven) times in Calgary, it's tough on guys that play the (penalty kill), that play a lot of minutes that are counted on to be good offensively as well," he added.

The Sharks beat the Penguins 5-2 Jan. 15 in San Jose in the teams' first meeting of the year.

DeBoer hinted that goalie Martin Jones will start at Pittsburgh.
