The San Jose Sharks will use an unconventional lineup of ten forwards and eight defensemen, as Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, and Collin Graf are scratched against the Colorado Avalanche.

Graf and Smith played each of the first two games, while Celebrini only played the first. With the top two centers out of the lineup, Filip Bystedt slides up to the top line with Quentin Musty and Kasper Halttunen. 

Musty had four points, which included a hat-trick, in last night's 7-2 win against the Anaheim Ducks. 

Ethan Cardwell also comes out of the lineup for the Sharks. With the NHL training camp set to begin on Thursday, San Jose looks to be protecting some of the top assets expected to participate in camp.
