It’s not all bad injury news for the San Jose Sharks. While they won’t have d-man Marc-Edouard Vlasic tonight against the Flames, at least key forward Tommy Wingels will be back.
Wingels has been activated from injured reserve after missing seven games with a broken hand. Versus Calgary, he’s expected to skate on the right side of a line with Tomas Hertl and Chris Tierney.
The Sharks, perhaps the most inconsistent team in the NHL this season, lost another winnable game Saturday at home to Carolina -- just the latest defeat to a team that won’t be participating in the playoffs this spring.
Tonight, not only will the Sharks be looking for redemption for Saturday’s effort, they’ll be trying to avenge last week’s 3-1 loss to the Flames in Calgary.
“We’re an inconsistent team this year. We need to fix that going forward,” forward Logan Couture said, per CSN Bay Area.
“We’ve got a stretch run here. We’re going to need to win a lot of games to get into the playoffs.”
