What key player returns for the Sharks in this episode?
San Jose Sharks stories making news on January 11th. The San Jose Sharks are finally getting back to full strength for tonight's matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. 18-year-old prospect Michael Misa, the number two pick from last year, returns for his first National Hockey League game since November 1st. He's been sidelined by a right ankle injury, a conditioning stint in the American Hockey League, and the World Junior Championships. Coach Ryan Worsofsky has Misa centering the third line with Colin Graff and Jeff Skinner. That means Adam Gaudette slides down to the fourth line, taking Ryan Reeves' spot for now. On defense, John Klingberg is back after missing time since New Year's Eve with a lower body injury.
He'll replace Nick Letty and pair up with someone to be named later. Fans are buzzing about these returns, especially Klingberg who leads the Sharks defensemen with nine goals this season. His comeback boosts the blue line big time, even if he's not jumping straight to the top power play unit.
How does Michael Misa's debut impact the Sharks' lineup?
Dmitry Orlov stays there after San Jose's strong 4-for-6 performance on power plays Saturday night. Look for Klingberg on the second unit instead. Yaroslav Askarov gets the start in net for the Sharks, who sit at 23 wins, 18 losses, and 4 overtime losses. Vegas comes in at 20 wins, 11 losses, and 12 overtime losses. They might counter with Carl Lindbaum after Akira Schmid's win last night against St. Louis. Puck Drop is at 5 p.m. Pacific Time at SAP Center. Catch it live on NBC Sports California or listen on the Sharks Audio Network. This could be a fun one with the Sharks healthier than they've been in weeks.
