Sharks coach Bob Boughner said Couture and Pederson will remain in Detroit and quarantine for now. He said it’s possible they will drive to Philadelphia and fly home with the team on Sunday if they are out of protocol by then.— Corey Masisak (@cmasisak22) January 4, 2022
Looks that way, based on the AM skate (Boughner also said he would likely play yesterday). https://t.co/efLXon8KEX— Corey Masisak (@cmasisak22) January 4, 2022
Boughner says that he hasn’t decided on defensive pairings, but scratching Vlasic seems possible https://t.co/X0k4KijY9o— Sheng Peng (@Sheng_Peng) January 4, 2022
Boughner said the lines are still TBD, but did say that Hertl will “probably” center Dahlen and Meier with Bonino moving up to the second line.
Vlasic and Gadjovich are still on the ice at LCA with Ryan Merkley, Nick Merkley and Zach Sawchenko. https://t.co/Xi41ynM6Wy— Corey Masisak (@cmasisak22) January 4, 2022
