Brayden Schenn was given a maintenance day but is hopeful to return to action tonight.

Justin Faulk has been performing well recently, recording 14 shots and four blocked shots over his last five games. He is expected to play a significant role against the San Jose Sharks, who are struggling defensively. With the Sharks being one of the worst teams in terms of shots allowed from the point, Faulk has the potential to exceed value at his salary, making him a strong option for tonight’s slate.
