Two games under 0.500, fourth in the division and ninth in the conference, the Sharks head out on a cross-country road trip, hoping to get some points against the Eastern Conference and get back in a playoff slot.
But that may not be the emphasis of the first game, with the national stage focusing on the pending season debut of Pavel Datsyuk. The Wings are desperate for scoring and hope to get a scoring and emotional lift from his return. Or the attention might be on Justin Abdelkader and his new 7 year extension. But Brad Richards and Kyle Quincey will be out.
The Sharks are coming off a disappointing four game homestand, where they had ONE win. And they still haven’t scored a power play goal at home this season, and now are last in the league in PP at 11.4%. On the bright side, has been the return of Melker Karlsson to the lineup from a pre-camp injury; although slated to play on the 3rd line, he was quickly promoted to the top line with the two Joes in an attempt to recoup their chemistry from last season.
Logan Couture is traveling with the team, but is still not healed enough to even start practicing with the team on this trip.
Update: Howard vs Jones. Bottom 3 lines shake up.
