The Sharks play their first of three Rookie Faceoff games against Utah HC at 1 p.m. PST. Here are the six players on the ice during the unofficial morning skate.

With these six players likely not in the lineup, San Jose will need to scratch two more players who weren't on the ice, as this leaves 20 skaters remaining on the roster.
Head coach John McCarthy will not have any media availability before puck drop to confirm his lineup. McCarthy did confirm on Wednesday that top Sharks prospects Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith are in today's lineup.
Based on the players on the ice this morning, San Jose could be fielding one of their best lineups with other top prospects like Quentin Musty, Sam Dickinson, and Shakir Mukhamadullin.
Warmups begin at 12:30 p.m. PST, and the lineup will be confirmed around then.
