The San Jose Sharks are closing out a four-game road trip in Vegas tonight, and head coach David Quinn will need to make some changes to his winning-streak line-up. Defender Radim Simek was injured in Sunday’s tilt against the Minnesota Wild from a hit to the head by forward Mason Shaw, who received no supplemental discipline for the high hit.
Punishment for Shaw or not, the Sharks are still going to need to shuffle the deck a bit without Simek. Scott Harrington made the trip as an extra defender, but being a little closer to home allowed for an easy call-up from the San Jose Barracuda.
