The top two teams in the Pacific Division went toe-to-toe for the final time this season, with the San Jose Sharks a win away from clinching their seventh trip to the playoffs in eight years. On the other side, the Golden Knights were a win away from clinching the Pacific Division.
It was announced this morning that Joonas Donskoi would draw into the lineup for this important clash. Donskoi hasn’t played since March 14, when he left the game due to a shoulder injury. With a revolving door of injuries to the Sharks, it’ll be important to get everyone’s feet wet before playoffs and getting Donskoi back into the lineup was one step forward toward a fully healthy roster.
