Status report
Neither team will hold a morning skate. … Schuldt sustained an injury in the third period of a 6-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday; Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky did not have an update on the defenseman after the game. … Vlasic, a defenseman who has missed the past four games, will travel with the team. … Kostin could be a healthy scratch after the forward was benched in the second period. He did not play the final 15:12 of the second before playing four shifts in 3:43 of ice time in the third period. … Rittich is expected to start after Kuemper made 23 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
