The NHL had a 3 day break; the Sharks have been off for four. Saturday morning, the Sharks will gather and fly to LA.
John Scott will not be available. He had a phone hearing Christmas Eve, and was suspended by the league four games for hitting unsuspecting Anaheim Ducks’ Jackman and knocking him flat on his keister. The Sharks recalled forward Micheal Haley on Friday, for toughness, especially in the upcoming games against the Kings and Ducks.
Mirco Mueller won’t be available either; he’s been loaned to Team Switzerland in the IIHF World Junior Championships. Team Switzerland’s first game is on Saturday (they had a big win with Mueller getting assist; Noah Rod, Sharks 2nd round pick, had GWG and assist).
Appears to be Niemi vs Quick in net. Haley probably making Sharks debut tonight.
