As I'm sure we all know by now, Tomas Hertl, who has arguably been the Sharks best player in the Final thus far, will be out tonight after suffering an injury in practice earlier this week. Melker Karlsson is going to be replacing him on the first line, while Dainus Zubrus will step in on the fourth line after sitting game two out.
