The Sharks start a road back-to-back against the Avalanche tonight with some good news on the injury front as Timo Meier gets back in the lineup. The Swiss forward will play on the fourth line, likely to limit his minutes as he returns from a “minor injury.”
Ryan Carpenter is out of the lineup and Tommy Wingels has taken over the fourth line center job for the evening. I suppose this comes as a response to all the “Carpenter has earned the fourth line center job” articles we all wrote over the past week.
Patrick Marleau — Joe Thornton — Joe Pavelski
Kevin Labanc — Logan Couture — Mikkel Boedker
Joonas Donskoi — Chris Tierney — Joel Ward
Timo Meier — Tommy Wingels — Melker Karlsson
Paul Martin — Brent Burns
Marc-Edouard Vlasic — Justin Braun
Brenden DIllon — David Schlemko
What do you think of the lineup?
