“Yeah, Jumbo took me in,” Davidson said Monday. “Hell of a man. I have a lot of words to describe him, actually.”

Davidson, who was acquired Feb. 24 from the Calgary Flames, will likely be in the lineup Tuesday — filling in for the injured Jake Middleton — when the Sharks host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Middleton is considered week-to-week with a lower body injury he suffered Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After the trade, Davidson threw together some belongings and traveled from Boston, where the Flames were, to Philadelphia to meet his new team.
