SAN JOSE – The Sharks reassigned a trio of players to the AHL Barracuda on Monday morning as forwards Bryan Lerg and John McCarthy and defenseman Mirco Mueller changed dressing rooms at Sharks Ice.
After a day off on Sunday, San Jose reconvened for practice ahead of Wednesday’s home game with Nashville.
Joonas Donskoi, who has been battling a lower body injury since blocking a shot in the home opener on Oct. 10 and has missed the last five games, returned to the left side of the Joe Thornton-Joe Pavelski line. Matt Nieto, who had spent the last two games there, slotted in on the third line with Chris Tierney and Tommy Wingels.
