Sharks played well, but Kings pushed to tie the game late in the third, and scored in OT.

The Avs are coming off their fourth win Saturday night.  Varlamov was named #1 star of the week, but Pickard is expected to be in nets on Tuesday. Skille crashed into the boards Saturday, but is expected to play Tuesday.

Optional practice for Sharks on Monday: Stalock, Tennyson, Zubrus and Brown were the only players on the ice.  Due to that I’m thinking that Jones will start.

Update:  Jones scheduled to start.  Zubrus in; Brown out.

Pickard and two skaters skipped morning skate due to illness.  Will has been recalled to backup Pickard (with Varlamov out), but might have to start.  Perhaps Roy would be signed as an emergency backup goalie?
