With opening night tonight at 7 pm PT, the Sharks' opening lineup appears to be set. The lineup is as follows.
Kurashev - Celebrini - Smith
Eklund - Wennberg - Toffoli
Skinner - Dellandrea - Graf
Goodrow - Gaudette - Reaves
Leddy - Klingberg
Ferraro - Liljegren
Orlov - Muhkhamadullin
Extra: Misa, Desharnais, Dickinson
The opening night lineup might not be what Sharks fans were hoping to see, especially with rookies Misa and Dickinson in the press box. However, from a development standpoint, it makes sense to debut both players against Anaheim on Saturday, rather than one of the best teams in the league, the Vegas Golden Knights.
