The San Jose Sharks are getting back to full strength.<\/p>\n
2025 No. 2 Michael Misa will play his first NHL game since Nov. 1. Since then, he\u2019s gone through a right ankle injury, an AHL conditioning loan, and the World Junior Championships.<\/p>\n
According to head coach Ryan Warsofsky, the 18-year-old will center Collin Graf and Jeff Skinner on the third line. Adam Gaudette will slide back to the fourth line, in place of Ryan Reaves.<\/p>\n
On the blueline, John Klingberg, out since New Year\u2019s Eve with a lower-body injury, will replace Nick Leddy.<\/p>\n
Notably, Klingberg, who leads Sharks defensemen with nine goals, will not take his customary top power play spot. Instead, Dmitry Orlov, who was part of San Jose\u2019s 4-for-6 power play binge on Saturday, will remain stationed there.<\/p>\n
Expect Klingberg on PP2.<\/p>\n
San Jose Sharks (23-18-4)<\/p>\n
Yaroslav Askarov will start.<\/p>\n
Warsofsky didn\u2019t share who Klingberg will be paired with. He also noted that Reaves is healthy.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s my best guess for tonight\u2019s line-up:<\/p>\n
Eklund-Celebrini-Chernyshov
Regenda-Wennberg-Toffoli
Skinner-Misa-Graf
Goodrow-Ostapchuk-Gaudette<\/p>\n
Orlov-Liljegren
Ferraro-Klingberg
Dickinson-Iorio<\/p>\n
Askarov<\/p>\n
Vegas Golden Knights (20-11-12)<\/p>\n
Akira Schmid started last night\u2019s 4-2 win versus the St. Louis Blues, so expect Carl Lindbom tonight.<\/p>\n
