The San Jose Sharks (17-50-8) look to burst the playoff bubble of the St. Louis Blues (40-32-4) once again as Collin Graf makes his NHL debut.
Graf will play with William Eklund and Luke Kunin. Sharks head coach David Quinn said Graf will be on the second powerplay unit. Devin Cooley will get the start in the Sharks' crease, making his third start in his NHL career.
The Sharks have played St. Louis well this season, defeating them twice, most recently on March 30th where they won 4-0.
The Sharks are closing in on clinching the best odds at the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery and have a seven-point gap to the Chicago Blackhawks.
As for the rest of the lineup tonight, Quinn said the defense will remain the same while Mike Hoffman and Kevin Labanc come out of the lineup in favor of Jacob MacDonald and Graf.
Sharks projected line combinations:
Kostin-Granlund-Zetterlund
Eklund-Kunin-Graf
Bordeleau-Studnicka-Zadina
MacDonald-Sturm-Bailey
Ferraro-Burroughs
Vlasic-Rutta
Thrun-Addison
Cooley
Blackwood
Puck drop is at 3 p.m. and can be seen on NBC Sports California or the Sharks Audio Network.
