Desharnais has missed the last seven-plus weeks with an upper-body injury, last playing on Nov. 26, when the Sharks lost 6-0 to the Colorado Avalanche. Desharnais was not injured in that game, but said Monday he needed time away to have surgery to repair a bothersome elbow.
BOTTOM LINE: The Tampa Bay Lightning will try to keep a four-game home win streak alive when they take on the San Jose Sharks. Tampa Bay has a 30-13-4 record overall and a 12-9-0 record on its home ice. The Lightning serve 13.8 penalty minutes per game to rank second in NHL play.
The San Jose Sharks made a big move, acquiring Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks. But the price the Sharks paid to improve should be the same type of price the Buffalo Sabres should be willing to pay to make their own major move.
