Kane probably is just getting the morning off. Doibt Donskoi will play.

Goodrow-Fehr-Karlsson


Also Gackle speculating that Donskoi and Kane are good to go tonight and that Hansen and Sorenson are scratches.

 

[WSS11]

Makes sense, Kane at the very least

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Well, I'm only expecting Donskoi to not play in this one but if both are out then Goodrow and Hansen have to draw in. I guess they could bring in Letunov if his contract includes this year like someone had pointed out just to have a backup there but who knows there? I'm guessing that if they don't think Kane's injury will keep him out that they don't need an extra. Either way, this is a big game for the Sharks. A regulation win would go a long way in improving their odds of making the playoffs.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

If they scratch Hansen over Sorensen I'll be upset. This is the type of game Hansen is needed in. Flames will be playing heavy and Hansen can get greasy.

Donskoi out, Kane GTD, what even happened to Kane?

As per Kurz

Except Hansen doesn't play that way enough and is one of the reasons he's scratched. That's probably my biggest disappointment with him besides having 0 goals.

Man I hope Donskoi didn't re-injure the same shoulder.

The last two games with the Flames could carry a lot of weight...especially if we start fighting injuries!

SJS 3/2
Goodrow/Couture/Ryan
Gaudreau/Backlund

 

[Tkachuky]

Chucky is our for the Flames. Looks like both teams will miss some key player(S).

 

[WSS11]

At least Donskoi is still traveling with the team. Hopefully he just jammed his wrist and they’re being cautious.

 

[PackShark]

Gotta play tighter defensively tonight. Gonna be a grinder I think.

Sharks 3-1

Meier, Couture, Fehr

Monahan

Donskoi out, Kane GTD, what even happened to Kane?

As per Kurz

He missed quite a few shifts in the Oilers game (left the bench) so he must have a minor injury.

Start fighting injuries? This has been one of the worst season yet for the sharks in terms of injuries. The only top 6/4 players that haven't missed games yet. Are pavs and burns.

Right, and the coach has publicly stated that those two are currently battling and just playing through injuries.

Plus, even if we're not near the bottom of the league in terms of man games missed (not sure if we are or not), some of those guys who got injured came back too soon and were clearly not themselves. Hertl, for example, was rendered ineffective for about 5 more games after missing 3, which is 10% of the season. Couture only missed like 3 games with his concussion but when he came back he took at least 5 games to get back to form, that's another 10% of the season at least that his injury has rendered him useless. Then you've got Vlasic whose concussion completely destroyed him and only recently has he looked like his usual self. Jones had that undisclosed injury in the middle of the year and only missed a few games but when he came back he looked worse than the other guy that wore #31 for the Sharks for like an entire month. When I think about it, Timo Meier and Joakim Ryan are just about the only key players who haven't battled injuries this season.

Man 2nd line Sorensen is an egregious error imo. Dude's not NHL caliber at all.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

He's been wildly inconsistent, but can be useful. I don't see Sorensen being useful at all in this type of game.

Hansen played against tbese guys for years with Van and I expect him to come out hard if he's in. I think he will be since he came off the ice with the team after practice while Sorensen stayed out with Ward.

As per Kurz

didn't he awkwardly go into the net or boards last game? I cant remember. It was kind of a quick/not noted thing but I remember making a comment to myself about it when it happened.

 

[treefiddy]

Sharks 4 Flames 2
Burns, Pavs, Couture, Hertl
Hamilton, Tkachuk

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

That's a hideous forward lineup. We're missing three monster possession forwards, it'll be a miracle if we don't get crushed tonight.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

At the very least I hope Kane draws in tonight

Tkachuk is out tonight, SNOGgers.
