Here’s how you can watch the Opening Night matchup between the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings.

The Opening Night of the 2016-17 NHL season will feature four rivalry games to start the season off right. They saved the best for last, as the Los Angeles Kings travel to the SAP Center to take on the San Jose Sharks. The two teams will be facing each other for the first time in a meaningful game since their first round playoff series. Los Angeles hates San Jose and the feeling is mutual, which should make for an excellent game of hockey.

San Jose will be led by captain Joe Pavelski. He will be helped by centers Joe Thornton and Logan Couture. Helping them will be their star defenseman Brent Burns and goaltender Martin Jones. The Sharks are coming off their best season and their first ever Stanley Cup Finals appearance. After adding Mikkel Boedker and David Schlemko this offseason, they seem ready to defend their Western Conference title.

Los Angeles will be led by new captain Anze Kopitar and Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty. Vezina Trophy finalist Jonathan Quick will try to bounce back after a very rough World Cup of Hockey.

This is a huge game for both teams. The Sharks are looking to make a huge statement and get their season started on the right foot. A win over the Sharks would help them as they try to contend for a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Kings are looking to get some revenge on the Sharks after last season.
