"It's the second right-shot defenseman the Sharks have obtained in the past 36 hours. The team also claimed Vincent Iorio off waivers from the Washington Capitals on Thursday. Iorio is expected to make his debut for the Sharks tonight against the Utah Mammoth, filling a hole left by Timothy Liljegren who was placed on injured reserve. The Sharks need a win tonight."
"San Jose will have a tough go of it. Utah has started the season 2-2-0. This is the team's second game in a four-game homestand. The Mammoth started things off with a 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. New addition JJ Peterka was one of the players who scored for the Mammoth, adding another scoring threat to an already potent forward group."
"With both Liljegren and John Klingberg expected to be out tonight, it's not just Iorio getting a shot in the lineup, but also Vincent Desharnais. Look for a different looking blueline tonight. With that in mind, here's what San Jose Hockey Now's Sheng Peng reports the lines are likely to look like: ForwardsJeff Skinner - Macklin Celebrini - Philipp KurashevWilliam Eklund - Alex Wennberg - Tyler ToffoliCollin Graf - Ty Dellandre"
