Kovalenko will make his Sharks debut after being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche yesterday. The 25-year-old Kovalenko showed glimpses of the talent that made him an offensive standout with Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo (KHL), but limited deployment in Colorado likely stunted the opportunity for true success. In 28 games, Kovalenko has eight points (4G / 4A) and will likely get an opportunity for better deployment in his new home with the Sharks.
