The Sharks continue their epic seven-game road trip with a stop in Columbus, their only visit of the (regular) season. The teams’ only other meeting was in San Jose on October 23, when the Sharks had a very disappointing performance, losing 5-4.

The Sharks are coming off of an impressive win against the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Sharks landed in Columbus early Friday morning, while Columbus was in Philadelphia to face the Flyers on Friday night.

Columbus has been plagued with a long list of injuries, some of which might be career ending. Goalie Bobrovsky is off the IR, and was backing up on Friday night, and could start on Saturday.  Friday was the Jackets’ first win in ten games, depending on their power play (3 goals), but they gave up two man advantage goals. However, they are still injury impaired with Tyutin injured in the game (lower body).

Jackets not only get BOB back, but also Anisimov; BOB starting.  Sharks had optional skate, both Braun and Marleau did not skate, so who knows if there are any lines/pairings changes.  Niemi starting.

Columbus traded for D Leopold from St Louis; he’s expected to be in the line up tonight.  Columbus put Calvert and Tyutin on IR to accommodate roster updates.
