Best summary of the Sharks game #1 against the Kings: One game does not a season make, but it did give a good first impression. Donskoi made his NHL debut, scored his first goal and was +3 (last Sharks player to be +3 in their debut was Sandis Ozolinsh). Jones was impressive after that first flubbed save and didn’t let in anything else. (Here‘s a nice description of how the team wants to play.)
Now, a chance to see how the Sharks and Ducks play each other in a game that means something. While the Sharks lost both preseason games, in neither did they have their full lineup. Last season, the Sharks dominated the Ducks.
Interestingly for the Ducks, Saturday’s game will be their season opener, and their 18th season opener on the road. Silfverberg has been skating with the team (after Torres’ hit) and is expected to be in the lineup.
DeBoer indicated that there are no lineup changes planned for the Sharks home opener (meaning that DeMelo will not make his NHL debut until maybe next week’s road trip).
As usual, the Sharks will have a street party before their home opener, so plan your arrival accordingly.
Milestone: Marc-Edouard Vlasic will become the Sharks leader for games played by a defenseman tonight. He passes Mike Rathje. Congrats, Pickles.
