Up next for Ducks: Thursday at San Jose

Ducks tonight AT SAN JOSE When: 7:30. Where: HP Pavilion, San Jose. On the air: TV: Channel 56; Radio: 830. Records: Ducks 23-20-7; Sharks 33-10-8. Record vs. Sharks: 0-4-0. Update: The Ducks have won eight consecutive games at home, but haven’t been so good on the road, with a 7-12-5 record. They haven’t been able to break through anywhere against the Sharks -- the No. 1 team in the Western Conference -- losing all four meetings. The Ducks are getting a boost from rookies Dan Sexton, Matt Beleskey and Troy Bodie. But the constant is goaltender Jonas Hiller, who has won seven of his last eight games with a .922 save percentage and a 2.65 goals-against average. -- Robyn Norwood
