Sharks look to keep rolling against Blue Jackets

Mar 16, 2007 - 3:56 PM Columbus (28-35-7) at San Jose (43-25-3) 10:30 pm EDT

SAN JOSE, California (Ticker) -- The San Jose Sharks' big guns are heating up, and that is bad news for division and conference opponents.

The Sharks shoot for their sixth win in seven games Friday when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets.

San Jose has 89 points and is tied with Dallas (42-23-5) for second in the Pacific Division, seven points behind Anaheim (42-17-12). The Sharks defeated Phoenix, 5-1, on Thursday for their fifth victory in their last six games.

Reigning Maurice Richard Trophy winner Jonathan Cheechoo scored twice and Joe Thornton had a goal and two assists.

Thornton, Cheechoo and Bill Guerin have combined for 19 points in their last nine games.

San Jose Ron Wilson will coach his 999th career game on Friday. He will become just the 13th coach in NHL history to coach 1,000 games when the Sharks play at Colorado on Sunday.

The Blue Jackets have won four of their last six games and registered a 5-4 upset over Pacific Division-leading Anaheim in a shootout on Wednesday.

Nikolai Zherdev scored twice and Fredrik Modin had a goal and an assist for the Blue Jackets, whose 174 goals are the second-fewest in the NHL.
