So, while the cat’s away the mice will play? As the Sharks finish up their road trip Tuesday in Boston, the Jackets flew to California on Monday for some team bonding before Thursday’s game.
Sharks got the day off Wednesday after returning from road trip. There was some concern expressed in the Boston postgame analysis in that Couture only took one faceoff in the game (linemate Marleau took the rest in the game when line was out for faceoffs). Sheppard looked good in his season debut. Stalock should be up in the goalie rotation.
But it’s Niemi in nets tonight (first home start).
