SAN JOSE — Prior to the Sharks’ preseason game with the Vancouver Canucks on Sept. 29, 2015, Nikolay Goldobin expressed his desire to square off against two of the game’s top forwards, Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
“I hope that they’re going to be (in the lineup), so I can show them that I’m better than them,” Goldobin, the Sharks’ 2014 first-round draft pick, told reporters.
Tuesday night, when Goldobin makes his return to SAP Center, he’ll receive an opportunity to prove his worth to hockey’s most-famous twins, as he’ll skate on the same line with the Sedins on the Canucks’ top line against the Sharks.
