Status report
Sharks coach Bob Boughner said Marleau will start his 1,768th NHL game that will pass Gordie Howe for most in NHL history. ... Smith (undisclosed) is a game-time decision after not playing the final 13:28 of the third period in a 5-2 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Vegas coach Peter DeBoer didn't commit to who could take Smith's place in the lineup if he doesn't play.
