The San Jose Sharks have spent much of December on home ice, and the success has been constant. Theyll try to complete a perfect home month Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks while matching their top single-season home winning streak in more than six years. You can catch all of the action live on TSN Radio 1040 with coverage beginning at 5pm pt. San Jose (19-12-5) is 7-0-0 at home this month and has won eight straight at the Shark Tank while scoring 3.88 goals per game. Its in a position to match a nine-game home winning streak that began the 2008-09 season and totaled 14 games with five wins from the end of the previous regular season. The success hasnt traveled in the occasional December road games as the Sharks have gone 1-2-1 away from San Jose, including Saturdays 3-1 loss in Los Angeles. The Sharks preceded it with a 3-2 overtime loss in Anaheim on Dec. 22, and the date with Vancouver (20-11-3) is their third in a four-game stretch against the top teams in the Pacific Division. They close 2014 with another trip to Anaheim on Wednesday. When the games are intense like this, you want to be at your best, and we werent tonight, center Joe Pavelski said after the loss to the Kings. We werent very disciplined in a lot of areas. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes and took a lot of penalties, things we havent been doing lately when we were winning. Pavelski has scored in consecutive games, though hes been limited to two goals in his last 15 against Vancouver. The Canucks have been a strong road team this season, going 11-6-2, but theyve dropped four straight (0-2-2) away from Vancouver after Sundays 2-1 overtime loss in Anaheim. They had a season-low 14 shots and have totaled 30 and two goals in their last two road games. Not good enough, Canucks coach Willie Desjardins told the teams official website. If we want to win in this league, weve got to take the puck to the net. We cant rely on our goaltender. If were just going to sit back, rely and hope we get points, were not going to get points. As a group we know we have to get better. If the offense doesnt come around, the penalty kill and strong goaltending could keep them close. The Canucks are 30 for 32 on the kill in 10 games this month and went 4 for 4 last week against the Ducks. Ryan Miller made 29 saves and has a 1.64 goals-against average over a 2-0-1 stretch. He was similarly strong with 34 saves in a 3-2 win in San Jose on Nov. 6 to open the season series and give the Canucks a second straight road win over the Sharks. Miller has won his last six starts against the Sharks with a 1.64 GAA and a pair of shutouts in his last four visits. Antti Niemi, meanwhile, has been in goal for six of the Sharks games on the home streak, but he suffered the loss last month to Vancouver after allowing three goals on 19 shots. He has been mediocre versus the Canucks with an 8-6-2 record and 2.67 GAA since joining the Sharks. The San Jose penalty kill has also been strong lately with a 13-for-15 mark over seven games, but both goals came in Los Angeles the last time out. Vancouvers power play is 4 for 11 in its last three games. San Jose forward Patrick Marleau is in danger of going without a point in seven straight games for the first time since Nov. 28-Dec. 11, 2011.
