The Sharks will see the newest member of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.
Forward Matt Duchene, who the Blue Jackets acquired from the Ottawa Senators on Friday for a package centered on two prospects and two first-round picks, will suit up against San Jose on Saturday.
There have been some immigration hurdles the #CBJ will have to clear for Matt Duchene to play tomorrow in Columbus. Team dispatched legal eagle Peter Lovins to work on it, and expectation is Duchene WILL be able to play tomorrow at Nationwide vs. Sharks.

Beyond the immediate implications for their next game, the Blue Jackets trading for Duchene has trade-deadline ramifications for the Sharks -- both good and bad.
