He knows that he played really well, so we\u2019ll stick with him today,\u201d Warsofsky said pregame. <\/p>\n<p>The Sharks will also scratch <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/san-jose-sharks-skinner-impact-signing-misa-eklund-wennberg\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Skinner<\/a> for the first time this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/san-jose-sharks-misa-new-york-islanders-schaefer-nhl-matchup-warsofsky\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Misa<\/a> will return to the lineup after he was scratched against the New Jersey Devils on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement.

Despite the production, Warsofsky wants more from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just need more. Need more, really, from everyone. We\u2019ve won one game, so we gotta keep shuffling it until we get it right,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s in decent spots. It\u2019s just, we got to win some more pucks. That\u2019s not just him. That\u2019s our whole group. We\u2019ve got to win more 50-50 pucks. We have to create in the inside, a little bit more. He\u2019s had some good, good things happen, and some things that we need to continue to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As far as the projected San Jose Sharks <a href=\"https:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/sharks-line-combinations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">line combinations<\/a>, Warsofsky said there will be more changes. He wants to get Philipp Kurashev more involved, so it sounds like he could move into Skinner\u2019s vacated spot.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement.

We\u2019ll try to get Kurashev in the mix,\u201d Warsofsky said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more news and stories about the San Jose Sharks on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sharkshockeydigest.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sharks Hockey Digest<\/a>!
