Sharks start their second half of the season, and finish up a three-game road trip in St Louis; they have won the last two games, without Thornton in the lineup.  (He’s eligible to return to play from the IR in time for this game, but a roster move would be needed.) Sharks took their CBA-mandated day off on Wednesday in St Louis.

The Blues return from the road, including blowing out the Sharks last Saturday, and the Coyotes on Tuesday, for a lengthy home stand (three weeks, including ASG break). Brodeur, Allen and Elliot remain a “three headed” goaltending “monster”; no changes are currently planned. TJ Oshie’s hat trick against the Sharks propelled him to #1 NHL star of the week.

Niemi vs Elliot.  Thornton still out.
