The San Jose Sharks are set to play against the Calgary Flames, featuring the return of Thomas Bordeleau after being called up from the Barracuda. Bordeleau, a key player in the past season, has not scored since March but brings potential to the lineup. The Sharks are at the bottom of the NHL standings, ensuring them a high pick in the upcoming draft. The game is crucial for the Flames as they still have playoff hopes, needing to secure a victory to remain in contention.
Bordeleau's callup likely means that one of the current roster players is not healthy enough to play tonight.
The Sharks have secured the 32nd spot in the NHL for the second season in a row, guaranteeing that the team will have a top three pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft.
A win by the Sharks tonight would have consequences for the Flames as well; although time is running out, Calgary is still mathematically in the playoff race.
We expect that the Sharks will face Bay Area native Dustin Wolf once again, the Flames' go-to goalie down the stretch.
