Kane (undisclosed) is not expected to play Thursday; says he'll be ready for the playoffs.
Kane will miss his second straight game, but he says he will be ready to go for the playoffs. With a postseason berth already looked up, the Sharks can afford to play it safe with Kane.
Forbort is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Forbort left Monday’s win over the Avalanche with a lower-body injury and did not return. It was later determined to be serious enough to keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks, which is a huge blow to a Kings team headed to the postseason. Forbort has picked up 18 points (1G / 18A) and a plus-18 rating while logging over 20 minutes per night on the Kings blueline this season.
Kane (undisclosed) will not play on Tuesday.
Kane missed Monday’s practice and will not play tonight vs. the Stars. Kane has been strong since joining the Sharks, posting nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 16 games since the trade. Kane is considered day-to-day.
Goalie Start
Demko will make his first career start on Saturday.
Demko, 22, is the Canucks goalie of the future and comes up to get a taste of the NHL after a good year in Utica (AHL). Demko, who was the No.36 overall pick in 2014, went 23-12-4 with a 2.49 GAA and .921 SV% in 42 games with the Comets, but draws a stiff test in his NHL debut.

DeBrusk (upper-body) is expected to be back in the Bruins lineup on Saturday.
Kane (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play Friday.
Kane (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
DeBrusk (upper-body) will miss at least the next two games.
DeBrusk left Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.
DeBrusk absorbed a big hit early on Tuesday but was able to play through it for a period of time, but eventually went down the tunnel and never returned. DeBrusk ended up logging just 10:48 TOI and should be considered questionable as the Bruins head to Florida for a clash with the Panthers on Thursday.
Boeser will miss 4-6 weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his lower-back.
It looks like Boeser’s amazing rookie season is going to be cut short after he fractured his back late in Monday’s win over the Islanders. If this does wrap up his season, Boeser finishes the campaign with 29 goals and 26 assists (55 points) in 62 games.
The Sharks have acquired Evander Kane from the Sabres for Danny O’Regan, a conditional 2019 1st round pick and a conditional 2020 4th round pick.
Kane brings size, speed and scoring to the Sharks, who are in need of top-6 goal scoring help. Kane has scored 20 goals and 20 assists (40 points) in 61 games this season. If he does not re-sign with the Sharks this season, the 1st round pick in 2019 becomes a 2nd round pick.
Line Change
Kane will be scratched for the second straight game.
With a possible trade on the horizon the Sabres will make sure that Kane remains healthy, so he will sit tonight. There’s a good chance that Thursday’s game in Detroit was Kane’s last with the Sabres.
Line Change
Kane will be held out of Saturday's game for precautionary reasons ahead of Monday's trade deadline.

Forbort left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
Forbort played just 10:26 TOI before heading down the tunnel for the rest of the game. Forbort has logged over 21 minutes per game this season so his loss will be felt but it could allow prospect Paul LaDue to get into some games.
