The luck was not with the Sharks Thursday. Nieto and Vlasic left the game with injuries. Sharks gave up the GWG late in the third. Sharks had two goals disallowed – one on coach’s challenge (offside) and one for kicking motion. Their challenge (offside) was unsuccessful.

The Rangers are finishing up their California swing. They faced the Ducks on Wednesday (2-1 win), the Kings on Thursday (3-4 OT loss), and finish at the Sharks on Saturday in a matinee tilt.

Sharks have the day off on Friday. Starting goalie and update on the injured may not come until late morning on Saturday.

Against the Islanders on Saturday, Stalock got the start on the second game of back-to-backs; DeMelo made his NHL debut. But the team only played (strong) 40 minutes, going off the rails in the third, losing 6-3, including an empty netter. D Martin out with lower body injury (after skating 30+ minutes the night before). Smith hit in ear by (Vlasic) slap shot and did not return to play. Hearing that Bryan Lerg has been recalled (I guess for Smith).

Rangers played the Devils Sunday afternoon, so the Sharks are the “rested” team going into Monday’s game. Former Shark Dan Boyle not surprised has been a recent healthy scratch, but pundits now bemoan the contract, cap hit, and NMC. The Rangers have lost their last three games including a 1-2 OT loss to the Devils. Stoll returned to the lineup Sunday, but that was not enough of a spark. The only player not being criticized is Lundqvist; there is some thought that Lundqvist may get the start on Monday, even though he played Sunday (and all games thus far), but Raanta could be the starter, against the “Jumbo Shrimps”. At 3-2-1, the coach does not want his team to go below 0.500.

Morning skate update: Martin Jones vs Antti Raanta tonight. Paul Martin, Joonas Donskoi, Ben Smith out.

So, the Sharks were not shut out by the Rangers. Thornton returned to the lineup. Karlsson extended his goal scoring streak.

But no standing points added.

The dads are in town for the annual trip. (Heading to Arizona for Tuesday’s game.)

The Sharks return home from midwest road trip.

The Rangers are visiting California. And have won their first two games in California, so the Sharks will have to work hard, in Dan Boyle’s return to the Tank, to prevent a California sweep by the Blueshirts.

On Friday, Thornton skated with the team, but Burns did not. It may be after morning skate before we learn of any roster changes that might mean that Thornton will return to the lineup.

Based on NYR starts (Lindqvist vs Ducks, Talbot vs Kings), it’s probably Lindqvist tonight against the Sharks.

Niemi starting for Sharks.

Mueller put on IR (upper body injury from WJC) and Thornton activated.
