The Boston Bruins and the San Jose Sharks face off in a non-conference matchup on Monday, Jan. 20.

The Bruins return home after letting a valuable point slip away Saturday in Ottawa as they let a two-goal lead slip away in the final four minutes of regulation before losing in a shootout, 6-5.

The San Jose Sharks have a miniature homecoming, as many players and staff members are from Boston.
