Joe Thornton remains a gametime decision, but it sounds like he’ll draw into the lineup for the first time this season. If he does, expect Timo Meier to be the odd man out. That should be the only change to the lineup after the Sharks’ 2-0 loss on Friday.
If Thornton remains out of the lineup, here are the probably lines, courtesy of Friend of the Blog Kevin Kurz.
