SAN JOSE — Melker Karlsson will miss Sunday’s game with a lower body injury and Marcus Sorensen will draw into the lineup as the Sharks face the Dallas Stars for the first time this season.
Karlsson, who had recently been playing on the Sharks’ third line with Tomas Hertl and Joonas Donskoi, was hurt in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. Sharks coach Pete DeBoer labeled Karlsson’s injury as minor.
The Sharks are looking to bounce back from a lackluster performance against the Predators, which was just their third loss in 17 games in regulation time since the all-star break.
