Toronto is fighting to win the Atlantic Division, and two points against San Jose are critical. Cam Lund will make his NHL debut for the Sharks and play on the third line with Patrick Giles and Ty Dellandrea. He will also be in the net-front position on the second power-play unit.
Here is the Sharks' projected lineup:
Eklund-Celebrini-Smith
Graf-Wennberg-Toffoli
Dellandrea-Giles-Lund
Grundstrom-Ostapchuk-Goodrow
Ferraro-Mukhamadullin
Cagnoni-Desharnais
Carlsson-Liljegren
Alexandar Georgiev will get the start in goal. He back-stopped the Sharks to a 3-2 shootout win in Toronto during the last matchup.
