The Sharks propose a plan

Mikael Granlund – Macklin Celebrini – Tyler Toffoli
William Eklund – Alexander Wennberg – Fabian Zetterlund
Barclay Goodrow – Will Smith – Luke Kunin
Carl Grundstrom – Nico Sturm – Ty Dellandrea

Mario Ferraro – Cody Ceci

Vitek Vanecek
Mackenzie Blackwood

Scratched: Klim Kostin, Givani Smith

Injured: Logan Couture (groin), Marc-Edouard Vlasic (upper body), Jake Walman (upper body)

Status report

• The Sharks did not have a morning skirt after their 1-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Smith will play after being scratched on Sunday as part of his development program.
• Sharks coach, Ryan Warsofsky, said the team will be a game time decision. This includes Celebrini who has played three games since returning from a hip injury that kept him out for 12 games. When asked if Celebrini had development days built in where he would miss games like Smith, Warsofsky said, “They both have different plans. I will leave you like that.”
• Walman will miss his fourth straight game, and the defender is being looked at day by day.
