Status report

Askarov tweaked a lower-body injury during the Sharks morning skate and might not be available to serve as backup. … Eklund is questionable with a lower-body injury; he did not practice Wednesday but was on the ice for the morning skate. … Celebrini will play after taking a maintenance day Wednesday. … Chernsyhov, a forward, was recalled from San Jose of the American Hockey League on Thursday. …  Pastrnak did not participate in the morning skate but is expected to play after his wife gave birth to a daughter. … Steeves will play after being a healthy scratch for a 2-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, replacing Eyssimont, a forward.
