TORONTO \u2014 It looks like all the Toronto kids will be playing their homecoming on Thursday.<\/p>\n
San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky declined to confirm that after practice, but this is how the Sharks lined up this afternoon at Scotiabank Arena, on the eve of their showdown against the Toronto Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n
Graf-Celebrini-Smith
Eklund-Wennberg-Toffoli
Skinner-Dellandrea-Kurashev
Goodrow-Gaudette-Reaves<\/p>\n
Ferraro-Mukhamadullin
Orlov-Klingberg
Dickinson-Liljegren<\/p>\n
If this holds, Zack Ostapchuk, Nick Leddy, and Vincent Iorio will sit out for, among others, Ontario natives Tyler Toffoli, Ty Dellandrea, Jeff Skinner, Barclay Goodrow, Ryan Reaves, Mario Ferraro, and Sam Dickinson.<\/p>\n
Warsofsky did confirm that rookie Dickinson would play tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Also, it appears that Shakir Mukhamadullin<\/a>, healthy scratched for the last four games, will draw back into the line-up.<\/p>\n On the power play, the first unit featured John Klingberg, Macklin Celebrini, William Eklund, Alex Wennberg, and Toffoli. The second unit had Dmitry Orlov, Will Smith, Skinner, Philipp Kurashev, and Adam Gaudette.<\/p>\n Hello from Toronto!<\/p>\n There\u2019s a new goalie on the ice for #SJSharks<\/a>, EBUG Rayce Ramsay.<\/p>\n No other obvious absences except for Askarov.<\/p>\n Please contribute to my travel here: https:\/\/t.co\/dwuYlkA1hL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/TuVmddlUip<\/a><\/p>\n
