PK was horrible on Monday — four goals given up (most since 1997!).  A team is not going to win if it gives up that many PP in this age.  Sigh.  Sharks are 4-10 at home this season.

Now on to the next opponent.  It looks like Couture **might** be ready to get back into play.

Flyers are looking to avoid a second loss to the Sharks this season, and avoid back-to-back losses (they lost 2-4 to Ducks on Sunday). After clearing waivers, Gagner has been assigned to AHL and Streit has been activated from IR. Del Zotto missed Sunday’s game due to injury; questionable for game.

Check twitter feeds for confirmation on starters and roster moves.

After trading goals with Bruins, Sharks pulled ahead, with five different scorers and held on to win in Boston, with four of the five goals scored against the B’s top defensive D/F: Bergeron, Chara.  Marleau notched his 999th point.

On to Philadelphia.  On Tuesday night, they hosted the Kings, losing in shootout. They’ve been playing through some injuries. Streit out 6 weeks after pubic plate detachment surgery (as if I knew what that meant; tl; dr — call it a hip injury). Umberger still out. Neuvirth is ready to return to the lineup. Rookie Gostisbehere,  taking Streit’s roster spot, seems to have provided spark to lineup.

Sharks had an optional practice at Penn State Wednesday (in part because arena had basketball game on Wednesday). Marleau would like to get his 1000th point to get the milestone behind him, and keep earning points.

Update: Mason starting for Philadelphia. Jones starting; same lineup.

141202 – postgame Flyers @ Sharks

Sigh.  A Sharks regulation win.  But it may have been costly as Couture took a hit to the jaw early in the third period and did not return.

(Vlasic took a puck to the foot and missed a few shifts while in the locker room.)

Flyers’ Lecavalier was a healthy scratch for the first time in his career.

Nieto’s goal with 11.5 seconds remaining was the game winner.

NBCSN will feature the Sharks-Flyers as the second half of a double header Tuesday.

Two teams with disappointing records, but with different drums in the background.  The Sharks owner Plattner is preaching patience, while the Flyers chair Synder is calling out individuals on the team. Neither team is in a playoff positions in their respective conference.

Flyers are playing their second game of a five-game road trip (they lost the first), and have a 7-game losing streak on the road. Lecavaier will be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

The Sharks want to put an exclamation mark on their defense of home ice with another win (which would be only the second sequential win of the season).

Niemi will be starting for the Sharks (Stalock needs a bit more practice to return from injury as a starter, but is OK as a backup; perhaps this weekend in Alberta with the two back-to-back games).

Sharks assign Matt Tennyson to AHL Worcester. (Guessing their mini-8 defenseman experiment is over, and/or need in AHL with possible broken hand.  And they wanted two forward spots on roster.  Still think there will be more movement coming.)

Tye McGinn will be facing his former organization for the first time.

From Czech Republic, article on Hertl’s season thus far
If I’m reading correctly from the Google translation, he’s a bit frustrated with lack of offensive production.
