Sharks host Coyotes in opener of back-to-back, home-and-home games on Friday. They close the series on Saturday in Arizona.

Vlasic has been ruled out for the weekend games. Hannan is questionable for Friday. (So, there may be a recall from AHL for D; or John Scott may take a place on the blue line. Update: Stollery recalled.)  Niemi may be in nets, with Stalock’s cold getting worse.
