Sturm’s injury from blocking a shot in the game against Tampa Bay raises concerns for today's match. He leads the Sharks in faceoff percentage this season.
Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky praised Sturm, saying, 'He's playing well right now. I think he's playing some of his best hockey,' highlighting Sturm's value to the team.
Eklund, who has been out since December 23 with an upper-body injury, is close to returning and is a key contributor with 27 points in 36 games.
With Sturm questionable to play, the Sharks may shift Barclay Goodrow to center, indicating their depth options are being tested under injury circumstances.
