The Sharks will be without Logan Couture as they host the New York Rangers for the only time during the regular season at 7:30 p.m. at SAP Center tonight. Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Chris Tierney and Melker Karlsson all skated on Monday, which bodes well for San Jose’s chances against the blue shirts on Tuesday evening.
San Jose will have to go without their second line center, which will make the lineup interesting as the team looks to snap a six-game losing streak. Patrick Marleau will be the second line center if Monday’s practice lines are any indication. Don’t rule out the unpexpected, though.
