After suffering two losses earlier this week, Sharks coach Peter DeBoer has rearranged his offensive lines a bit ahead of San Jose’s Saturday night contest against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Rookie forward Antti Suomela is expected to be a healthy scratch after spending the first 13 games of the season centering the third line. Kevin Labanc and Rourke Chartier filed onto that line during Friday’s morning skate along with Suomela’s fellow Finn, Joonas Donskoi.
“I felt really comfortable with our four-line game up until the last couple of games,” DeBoer said of mixing the combinations up.
