Them

Cam Lund makes his NHL debut tonight. He was drafted 34th overall in 2022, and has just finished his NCAA season at Northeastern, which means he's making his NHL debut without ever playing in the AHL.

Georgi Romanov is not a name I made up, he has been in the AHL and was recalled when the Sharks traded Vitek Vanecek. It's unlikely he plays, however.

Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli are the only players on this team with more than 20 goals. The third ranking player, Fabian Zetterlund with 17, was traded at the deadline.

The Sharks were the first team eliminated this season, but they are only four points behind Chicago, so they need to be careful and not win very much. Celebrini needs a linemate.
