Sharks Radio Network

So, to distract the distraught fan base after Sunday’s loss, the team released their annual holiday video:  Holiday Sweater (you need to watch all the way to the end, including the credits).

Tyler Kennedy has been put on IR.  Forward has been recalled from Worcester and should be available for Tuesday’s game.  Troy Grosenick should be healthy enough to be activated from IR and assigned (back) to Worcester on Tuesday.

Karlsson recalled from Worcester. Niemi starting.
