The San Jose Sharks are looking for a little payback tonight after a chippy loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. This time, the two teams will face off in Anaheim.
Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith are not expected to travel with the team, but San Jose’s other 2023 first-round draft pick, Quentin Musty, is. He’ll get a chance to show off why he should stay in San Jose when camp is through.
San Jose Sharks lines
Since the team is traveling to Anaheim, there will only be a handful of veterans going too. Look for Georgi Romanov to backstop the entire game. Gabriel Carriere will back him up. Here’s what the rest of the lines look like thanks to San Jose Mercury News’ Curtis Pashelka.
