Sharks fans can exhale a bit.
Heading into Sunday's Game 5 of The Western Conference final against the St. Louis Blues, the status of defenseman Erik Karlsson was up in the air.
The defenseman spent the majority of the third period of Game 4 on the bench. He was in noticeable discomfort when he did make it on to the ice.
But with the Sharks' season hanging in the balance, head coach Peter DeBoer told the media that Karlsson would be in the lineup for Sunday's Game 5 at SAP Center.
Sharks coach Pete DeBoer says Erik Karlsson will play today, there are a couple game-time decisions though.
