San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky didn’t reveal anything about his lineup for Saturday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche.
Sam Dickinson is still in San Jose, as confirmed by the Sharks’ bench boss, but his lineup status will remain unknown until approximately 12:30 p.m. PT.
“You’ll have to see after warmup, but he is here,” Warsofsky said.
The same goes for who will be starting in goal for the San Jose Sharks. Yaroslav Askarov was the first goalie off the ice after the optional practice on Friday, but that doesn’t confirm anything.

With back-to-back games this weekend, Alex Nedeljkovic will get into at least one game like Askarov. Nedeljkovic stopped 29 of 31 shots during the San Jose Sharks’ 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
Warsofsky told reporters that everything is on the table for the Sharks’ lineup, including playing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Ryan Reaves won’t play due to a lower-body injury he suffered against the Devils, leaving the Sharks with 12 forwards.
The team didn’t recall anyone from the San Jose Barracuda. Michael Misa was a healthy scratch against the Devils and could return for his 7th NHL game on Saturday.
“If he does play, I’d like to see pace,” Warsofsky said of Misa. “I’d like to see him with the puck, with pace, starting the game on time, with energy and urgency.”
