Status report
Georviev will make his San Jose debut after being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. ... Mukhamadullin will play and replace Thrun, a defenseman. ... Faksa will not play after a skate blade cut in the third period of a 4-3 overtime win against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, but coach Jim Montgomery said the forward is likely to play Saturday against the Dallas Stars. ... Mathieu Joseph will replace Faksa in the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past three games.
