Sharks’ latest line shuffle puts Joe Thornton in an unusual spot

KANATA, Ontario — Searching for more offense at even strength, the Sharks are shuffling their lines in a significant way for Sunday’s game against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre.

Patrick Marleau will move to his more natural position of left wing on the top line with Logan Couture and Kevin Labanc, and Joe Thornton will play left wing on the Sharks’ third line with center Dylan Gambrell and right wing Marcus Sorensen.

Timo Meier drops from the top line to the second line with Evander Kane and Tomas Hertl, and Barclay Goodrow, with one goal in the last six games, will center the fourth line with Noah Gregor and Melker Karlsson.
