Nico Sturm has missed the previous five games with an upper-body injury suffered against the New York Rangers and told reporters that he is a game-time decision. Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky echoed the same message to reporters.
"[Sturm] be a game-time decision," Warsofsky said. "We got about four or five guys that are game-time decisions, so [we are] going to have to wait till warmups."
Goaltender Yaroslav Askarov is still technically on the NHL roster for the Sharks. He was the first goalie off the ice this morning, but the skate was optional. Mackenzie Blackwood was the next goalie off the ice for the Sharks.
"He's a possibility," Warsofsky said about Askarov.
Pre-game warmups are expected to start at 7 p.m. PT, and the media will focus on the Sharks' line combinations.
