In a far better place than they were 10 days ago, the San Jose Sharks will now test their newfound success with a short stop away from home.

The Sharks put their four-game winning streak on the line in Anaheim against the Ducks on Thursday, feeling far removed from a five-game losing streak, losses in seven of their previous eight games and a 4-10-1 opening to the season.

The Ducks are in a completely opposite place on a four-game losing streak, with all of those defeats at home. Anaheim's reversal of fortune appears just as stark as San Jose's, having started its downturn at home after opening the season 6-1-0 in its own building.
