NBCSN will feature the Sharks-Flyers as the second half of a double header Tuesday.
Two teams with disappointing records, but with different drums in the background. The Sharks owner Plattner is preaching patience, while the Flyers chair Synder is calling out individuals on the team. Neither team is in a playoff positions in their respective conference.
Flyers are playing their second game of a five-game road trip (they lost the first), and have a 7-game losing streak on the road. Lecavaier will be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.
The Sharks want to put an exclamation mark on their defense of home ice with another win (which would be only the second sequential win of the season).
Niemi will be starting for the Sharks (Stalock needs a bit more practice to return from injury as a starter, but is OK as a backup; perhaps this weekend in Alberta with the two back-to-back games).
Sharks assign Matt Tennyson to AHL Worcester. (Guessing their mini-8 defenseman experiment is over, and/or need in AHL with possible broken hand. And they wanted two forward spots on roster. Still think there will be more movement coming.)
Tye McGinn will be facing his former organization for the first time.
