Tonight\u2019s the final San Jose Sharks preseason game before the official season starts. The Sharks pretty much have all the roster spots set. That was done around the time that the free agency frenzy(?) wrapped up in July. But this is a chance to see how some of the younger players shape up against a somewhat NHL roster. We suspect that the Vegas Golden Knights will trot out an NHL-type of lineup since the team is at home. This will give the Sharks coaching staff a chance to see how players like Eric Pohlkamp, Luca Cagnoni and Nolan Allan (though we\u2019re not sure if Pohlkamp or Cagnoni will play tonight.)<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re guessing, Pohlkamp is headed back to the AHL after this game so he can play consistently. Allan will get the seventh defenseman job and time with the NHL club. Cagnoni will be the sixth defenseman because it\u2019s time to see what the kid can do, and he has a greater offensive upside than Allan. The team needs a puck moving defenseman. <\/p>\n
As for the game, look for Macklin Celebrini wearing some new threads. The young man will have a C on his sweater starting tonight. Celebrini was named the youngest captain of the San Jose Sharks<\/a> yesterday, and was handed his official captain\u2019s sweater by none other than former captain Joe Thornton. This season\u2019s alternate captains have not officially been named yet.<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks lines tonight<\/p>\n San Jose Hockey Now\u2019s Sheng Peng reports the following lines out of morning skate:<\/p>\n #SJSharks<\/a> morning skate lines <\/p>\n Marchment-Celebrini-Smith Nurse-Kesselring \u2014 Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) September 26, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Forwards Defense Goaltenders Vegas Golden Knights lines vs. San Jose Sharks <\/p>\n Here are the lines for Vegas courtesy of Jesse Granger.
