San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks head-to-head record

The San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks will be looking to build on their current head-to-head record, which has included both close games and games with a lot of goals. The Sharks' win in their last five games was a close 3-2 win on September 27, 2024. Two days earlier, the Ducks had won an exciting 4-3 game. A comfortable 6-4 win on the first of March 2024, along with a close 3-2 win in February are just two of the times the Ducks have dominated. The Sharks did, however, get a big win (5–3) on January 21st, 2024, which showed they could fight offensively.
