The Sharks and Canucks will face off for the second time in a row, this time at SAP Center, with San Jose looking to pick up its second-straight win. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. as the Sharks try to withstand yet another injury to their center depth as Joe Thornton hobbled off the ice during the victory against Vancouver on Sunday afternoon.
Timo Meier was sent down on Monday afternoon and no corresponding move was immediately announced. I assume San Jose will call up either Danny O’Regan or Ryan Carpenter to bolster the team’s center depth.
