After a penalty-fueled defeat to the Colorado Avalanche, the Sharks are back in action against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight. San Jose previously defeated the Flyers in the midst of that long road winning streak, but now the Sharks will have to do something they've struggled to do all season — win at home.

They'll get some help as Logan Couture is mercifully ready to return to the lineup for San Jose. The Sharks will skate four real, actual lines for the first time since...well since he was in the lineup the last time.
