The 49th edition of the Puckdoku NHL Grid features some intriguing cross-sections of teams that will require deep knowledge of the league to solve.
One of the cross-sections in today's NHL grid is between the Tampa Bay Lightning and San Jose Sharks. Participants are required to name players who skated for both teams during their careers.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are three-time Stanley Cup champions and compete in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They have been part of the NHL since 1992.
The San Jose Sharks, meanwhile, have yet to win the Cup and joined the league a year before the Bolts. The Sharks represent the West's Pacific Division.
Notably, only 30 players have been part of both the Lightning and Sharks, one of them being Dan Boyle.
