Sharks Lineup

Since the Sharks tend to roll with the same group of players and have no reason to change anything following a dominant victory on Tuesday night, it figures that they’ll roll with the same exact lineup for Game 3. It should be interesting to see what more they can get out of fourth-line winger Dainius Zubrus, who had his first two-point game as a Shark in Game 2. Zubrus, who tried out with the Blues earlier this season but was denied a contract, seems to be fired up by the opportunity to face an organization that didn’t think he was good enough to earn a spot.

Here’s what the Sharks’ Game 3 lineup is expected to look like:

Tomas Hertl–Joe Thornton–Joe Pavelski

Patrick Marleau–Logan Couture–Joonas Donskoi

Melker Karlsson–Chris Tierney–Joel Ward

Dainius Zubrus–Nick Spaling–Tommy Wingels

Marc-Edouard Vlasic–Justin Braun

Paul Martin–Brent Burns

Brenden Dillon–Roman Polak
