ANAHEIM — Lean Bergmann may have started the Sharks’ game against the Vegas Golden Knights at SAP Center on the fourth line, but he wound up alongside Tomas Hertl and Kevin Labanc in the top six forward group.
Barclay Goodrow, too, was moved up in the lineup after he started Friday’s home opener as the fourth line center. Meanwhile Lukas Radil and Melker Karlsson, given opportunities for more significant roles to start the game, were both later moved down in what became a 5-1 loss.
Coach Pete DeBoer hasn’t had much luck finding chemistry among his four forward lines through the Sharks’ first two regular season games, and he might find himself tinkering again Saturday night when his team starts a three-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks.
