Line Change

By all indications, Bruan will sit while Demers will be paired with White even though Todd McLellan would not confirm anything.

Demers has played in only seven of the Sharks 15 games after playing in 75 tilts last year. In those seven he registered only two assists which is unproductive for an offensive d-man.
