Sharks continued to play poorly and added to their losing streak (now at five games). Couture missed the third period with a Charlie Horse in his thigh, and on returning to San Jose had emergency surgery to repair an arterial leak; out indefinitely. Vlasic returned to practice on Friday and may be available to play Saturday.
Ben Smith has been activated from IR and assigned to the Barracuda on a conditioning stint. Mueller has been assigned to the Barracuda, and Ryan Carpenter has been recalled to the NHL for the first time (could make his debut Saturday if Nieto is not available).
Another double header day (which scouts love). Tonight is Mike Rathje alumni night. But it’s a single home game before another long road trip leading up to Christmas.
Jones scheduled to start for the Sharks.
On the Wild’s side, they lost in Arizona Friday, with Kuemper starting; Dubnyk is out this weekend. Backstrom could get the start Saturday.
