Sharks right back at it on Sunday afternoon, in Columbus, looking to complete a perfect road trip.

Marleau notched his milestone 1000th point Saturday in Pittsburgh, leading to a 3-1 win, with goals from Burns (2) and Martin (back visiting his former team). Boughner, Spott and Hedberg were behind the bench with DeBoer out for personal reasons.  (Unclear if he’ll be out for Sunday‘s game as well.)

While in Pittsburgh, Couture hit the ice for the first time in gear since getting a broken leg.  (My guess – he’s out at least another week.  Conditioning needed.)

Saturday’s win put them in a point-wise tie with (idle) Kings for 1st in Pacific Division.

It won’t be easy against Columbus.  Sharks are playing 6 games in 9 days. Jackets are playing 4 games in 6 days. But the Sharks haven’t forgot that 19 days ago the Jackets were the victor at the SAP Center.

Bob will probably be in net.  Bobrovsky had the shutout over Nashville Friday.  Under Tortorella, the Jackets are blocking a lot of shots.

Jackets missing a number of players. Dubinsky out with elbow for weeks. D Goloubef broke his jaw in Friday’s game and is out indefinitely; D Tyutin had an upper body injury and did not complete Friday’s game. Bodnarchuk recalled after Goloubef had surgery for his broken jaw.

Update: Stalock vs Bobrovsky.  DeBoer in NY heading to game (may make game or be late) — arrived before the puck drop.
