Sharks return from their long road trip to a two-game home stand. (Then road, home, 2 for the road to finish out the regular season.)
Niemi is recovering from an apparent cold, so Stalock may get the start. Tarasov has been returned to Worcester. Brown is close to returning. Mueller out for the season with a thumb injury (unclear if he might be healed for World Championships). Vlasic is day-to-day with lower body injury (but out for Wednesday).
Reto Berra announced as starter for Avalanche.
