The Sharks will be taking on the Capitals tonight at home. This will be their last home game before a five-game road trip, starting in Dallas on Friday. After a slow start to the season, the Capitals have picked it up, going 8-1-1 over their last 10 and winning five straight games.
The Sharks have some key injury news, both Misa and Skinner close to returning. It does not look like Skinner is going to be activated to play today but it remains a possibility, as for Misa, Warsofsky confirmed he will be going to the AHL for a conditioning stint, this was the expected outcome for Misa who is still adjusting to the pro game, to take advantage of the opportunity to get some development in a more fitting environment for his development.
