Desharnais is expected to be a healthy scratch on Wednesday for Game 4 vs. Dallas.
Desharnais was with the extras after Edmonton's morning skate Wednesday indicating he is likely a scratch for Philip Broberg ahead of Game 4. The 28-year-old stay-at-home defenseman has an assist, 12 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus in 15 games played so far.

Dellandrea will draw back into Dallas' lineup for Game 2 on Saturday vs. Edmonton.
Dellandrea has not played since Game 4 of the Stars' opening series vs. Vegas but will draw back into the lineup on Saturday for Radek Faksa. In four games so far in the 2023-24 playoffs, the 23-year-old left-winger has a goal, five SOG and two PIMs.
San Jose has signed Luca Cagnoni to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Cagnoni was San Jose's 2023 fourth-round pick (123rd overall) and signed a three-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday with the Sharks. The 19-year-old defenseman is looking like a draft-day steal after putting up 18 goals and 90 points in 65 games with Portland (WHL) in his fourth junior season in 2023-24.
Line Change
Ty Dellandrea will be a scratch for Game 7 vs. Vegas.

New Jersey has signed Shane Bowers to a two-year, two-way contract extension.
Bowers was the 28th overall pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and has been limited to only nine career NHL games. He played eight games with the Devils this season but spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, scoring 14 points (10G / 4A) in 43 games with the Utica Comets.
Line Change
Dellandrea will draw into the Stars lineup for Game 3.
Liljegren (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Game 4.
Liljegren will be replaced by TJ Brodie in the lineup for Game 4. Head coach Sheldon Keefe said that Liljegren has not been 100 percent, which is the reason he's the one coming out to make room for Brodie.
Wennberg (undisclosed) will play Game 3 vs. Washington on Friday.
Wennberg missed practice on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury and was originally considered a game-time decision but has stated himself that he will play in Game 3 vs. Washington on Friday. The 28-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline from Seattle and has yet to pick up a point in the playoffs while averaging 16:17 TOI.
Wennberg was absent from Thursday's practice and was without an update as New York heads off to Washington.
Wennberg has begun the playoffs playing on the Rangers' third line alongside Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kaako. The 29-year-old Wennberg is averaging 16:17 time-on-ice through two games and has zero points.
Grundstrom will return for Game 1 on Monday vs. Edmonton.
Grundstrom has been out since February 13th but it looks like he'll dress on the Kings' fourth line in game 1 vs. Edmonton. The 26-year-old winger did play two games with Ontario (AHL) during an LTIR conditioning loan and tallied one goal and one assist.
