Here’s a look at the Sharks’ six remaining opponents:

Boston Bruins, Thursday night at HP Pavilion: San Jose won 4-2 when the teams met at TD Garden on Oct. 22, but Boston has dominated the series at HP Pavilion in recent years.

Phoenix Coyotes, Saturday night at HP Pavilion and March 29 at Jobing.com Arena. The Sharks blew out the Coyotes 6-3 on opening night, but Phoenix has won the next three games – including two 3-0 shutouts.

Colorado Avalanche, Monday night at HP Pavilion: The Sharks have won two of three games so far, but the teams have not met since Dec. 15. The game is the first since the Sharks traded Jamie McGinn to the Avalanche for Daniel Winnik and TJ Galiardi.

Anaheim Ducks, March 28 at Honda Center: The Sharks have lost four of the five games against Anaheim and put in one of their poorest performances of the season in Monday night’s 5-3 loss. The one San Jose victory did come on the road.
