After a three-point game against the Tucson Roadrunners on Tuesday night, Nikolay Goldobin received a call-up to the San Jose Sharks today. It is not clear if he will see action against the Florida Panthers tonight or if this is merely a monetary reward for good work in the American Hockey League. He’s certainly earned that. The forward has 37 points in 43 games this year and is a 0.77 points per game player in the AHL.
San Jose also recalled Timo Meier and Tim Heed back to the big club. Sorry, Marcus Sorensen.
If he plays tonight, I expect him to see action on the top line with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
